[Numpy-discussion] Move scipy.org docs to Github?

[Bryan Van de ven]

Doesn't help all the CI builds that are failing because they utilize intersphinx to link to the official docs, unfortunately.

Add to that pdf docs, which are ~20 MB in size: if only a small fraction of visitors download those, we'll be at >100 GB.
