  1. Fix sphinx-doc#777 (part Ia): Latex output "too deeply nested"

    Allow code-blocks at maximal nesting depth of lists/quotes in LaTeX
    (which by default is 6), by patching fancyvrb's original Verbatim way of
    checking list depth which resulted in a loss of 1 possible level.
    
    Memo 1: latex can have by default a maximum of 4 nested enumerated
    lists, 4 nested labeled lists, and in total 6 nested lists. This
    includes quoted blocks as they use the `\list` macro.
    
    Memo 2: fancyvrb's rationale for using the \@list... macros (in its
    \FV@ListNesting) is to set vertical positioning. To set a Verbatim at
    level N it uses vertical parameters for list level N+1, hence can't work
    at max level. But in Sphinx, this happens inside a \vbox for framing,
    hence the vertical positioning set by fancyvrb turns out to be inoperant
    anyhow. The execution of \@list<level> also sets the \leftmargin, but
    fancyvrb resets it to zero later (#1=\z@ in \FV@ListNesting). To sum up,
    fancyvrb's \FV@ListNesting does nothing but has the after effect to
    raise an error if the code-block is at level equal to max - 1.
    
    The effect of this commit is to make inoperant fancyvrb's check of
    nesting depth, hence now the code-block can appear at maximal depth.
    
    This is second commit improving in Sphinx the maximal depth for
    code-blocks in nested lists or quote blocks. It used to be 4 (with
    LaTeX's defaults for lists), it is now at 6 (or at the max depth
    allowed by the document class).
