docs: conf.py: fix some troubles for LaTeX output

While PDF docs work fine on RPM-based distros, it causes conflicts
on Debian & friends.

There are multiple root causes here:

- the latex_elements still resambles the one from Sphinx 1.x
  times, where font configurations were stored under
  "preamble". It doesn't follow the current recommended way from
  Sphinx documentation:

	https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/latex.html

- instead of setting the main font, from where other fonts are
  derivated, it sets romanfont;

- "fontenc" is not set. This allows the *.tex output file to
  contain an UTF-8 incompatible fontset:

	\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

Address such issues to help preventing incompatible usage of
both T1 font and UTF-8 ones that comes from DejaVu font
family.

On some distros, this even generate a LaTeX font warning about
corrupted NFSS tables like this (I got it when running it in
interactive mode):

	Package: fontenc 2021/04/29 v2.0v Standard LaTeX package
	LaTeX Font Info:    Trying to load font information for T1+lmr on input line 11
	6.
	LaTeX Font Info:    No file T1lmr.fd. on input line 116.

	LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `T1/lmr/m/n' undefined
	(Font)              using `T1/lmr/m/n' instead on input line 116.

	! Corrupted NFSS tables.
	wrong@fontshape ...message {Corrupted NFSS tables}
                                                  error@fontshape else let f...
