Commit message

Add a work-around for the blank pages in PDF bug (LP: #1095513).

Description of the change

I've added a hack that adds "oneside,openany" to the LaTeX documentclass. Since there is no *direct* way to add options there, I've added those to the latex_font_size property.

The idea is taken from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5422997/sphinx-docs-remove-blank-pages-from-generated-pdfs.

The person who asked that question says that after this workaround, the PDF file "only [had] the odd-numbered pages of my document", so I want other to verify that this is not the case for them (and also that this works with different languages and Sphinx versions.

This is now causing this warning:
Package Fancyhdr Warning: \fancyfoot's `E' option without twoside option is use less on input line 8.

I'll try to look at that later (but seems to be a minor issue).
