Sphinx extension: JupyterBook-Patches

This Sphinx extension fixes:

• with a layout patch:
  • an issue where drop down menus would still take up space after being minimized, and the patch fixes it through some css.
  • an issue where in drop down code cells the shown summary remained lightgray instead of turning darkgrey. Fix through css.
  • an issue where the size of code in a header is not the correct font size. Fix through css.
  • an issue where the sidebar shows a scrollbar even if that's not needed
  • an issue where the margin causes a scroll bar for a window between 992 and 1200px.
• with a button patch:
  • an issue where two buttons for interactive matplotlib widget do not appear.
• with a mathjax patch:
  • an issue where in the Firefox browser the CHTML renderer of MathJax does not render thin lines consistently. Fixed by selecting the SVG renderer only for the Firefox browser.
