tox/sphinx-dev: Workaround really long dependencies installation

Antoine Lambert requested to merge generated-differential-D5525-source into generated-differential-D5525-target

The new pip resolver ends up backtracking numerous packages when installing all depencies in a single pip command but this is terribly slow and long to execute.

A workaround is to install each swh package one at a time by executing pip multiple times, no backtracking happens in that case and it reduces considerably the overall installation time.

Another advantage of proceeding like this is that it ensures each swh package will be installed in development mode.

Also increase tox verbosity when calling make to have some feeback of what it is doing.
