Running `make doctest` in the Doc/ repository of master fails on the 2.7 release notes. This patch excludes these files from `make doctest`, because it doesn't seem worth it to try to get these running in Python 3.

Ignore my message; I was thinking of something different :)
I presume you are running something like the following, which seems to smoke-test the examples in the documentation:
make -C Doc doctest

Yes, I've been attempting to get that make to fully succeed.

Since I stuck my neck out, I will say that this seems reasonable to me. We could probably still run doctest in the actual 2.7 branch to detect any errors there.

Thanks for your contribution, Jelle.

Perhaps it would be better to exclude all files in Doc/whatsnew.

By the way, after this I'm getting the following warnings:

Yes, I realized this patch is wrong: it excludes the 2.7 release notes from all make steps, not just `make doctest`.
The attached patch reverts the conf.py change and instead uses directives to skip most doctests in the 2.7 release notes. The other 2.x release notes have no failing doctests.
