I've had a hard time finding out what was going on with missing RTD plots since we updated the packages until I came across this: https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/8733

The proposed fix creates the @savefig directory if not there. It works locally but I'm not sure if it will work on RTD (they might use a custom build directory).

The other changes are minor tweaks to remove some build warnings and/or making use of the latest sphinx Makefile. I also removed a part of the conf.py which I think is not needed anymore.

@shoyer do you remember what the inspect.findsource monkeypatch was good for?
