[Pkg-middleware-maintainers] Bug#926300: qpid-proton: please make the documentation build reproducibly

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed
that qpid-proton's documentation could not be built reproducibly.

This is because the PYCTX object is, essentially, a memory address
which naturally varies between builds.

Patch attached that hides this member from the generated Sphinx
documentation. Do note that there is likely another, cleaner,
way of fixing this and — alas — src:qpid-proton as a whole remains
unreproducible.
