Fix rtd build and be more strict about builds (fail on warn).

Readthedocs was silently just ignoring many errors and for exampel not
including .. automodule: when they couldn't be imported and not
rendering anything within the `.. ipython::` directive.

Make it work (and fail if it ever break again).
