[fix] docutils dependencies (docutils>=0.21.2)

Another trip into the hell of dependencies: docutils tends to put major changes
in minor patches: the executables have been renamed / e.g.

     rst2html.py --> rts2html

so we have to use docutils at least from version 0.21.2, but this version of
docutils is only supported by myst-parser from version 3.0.1 on.

Additionally, docutils decided to drop python 3.8 in version 0.21 [1]

Further, linuxdoc needed an update to cope with docutils 0.21 [2]
