Move documentation from pythonhosted.org to readthedocs.io

Today we migrated the documentation of zodb.py3migrate from pythonhosted.org to zodbpy3migrate.readthedocs.io.

This requires a directory – for this example I name it redir – containing a file named index.html with the following content:

<html>
<head>
 <title>zodb.py3migrate</title>
 <meta http-equiv="refresh"
       content="0; url=http://zodbpy3migrate.rtfd.io" />
</head>
<body>
  <p>
    <a href="http://zodbpy3migrate.rtfd.io">
      Redirect to zodbpy3migrate.rtfd.io
    </a>
  </p>
</body>
</html>

To upload it to pythonhosted.org I called:

py27 setup.py upload_docs --upload-dir=redir

Now pythonhosted.org/zodb.py3migrate points to read the docs.
