List bullets are not rendered in documentation due to CSS RTD theme overrides

[vsnever]

When building documentation with: docutils==0.20.1, Sphinx==7.4.7 and sphinx-rtd-theme==2.0.0, the list bullets are not rendered:

1. 
2. 

The reason is that the default CSS styles are overridden in in the docs/source/cons.py:

core/docs/source/conf.py

Lines 144 to 148 in 26595cb

	html_context = {'css_files': [
	'_static/theme_overrides.css', # override wide tables in RTD theme
	'_static/tabs.css',
	]
	}

Removing list-style:none for ul, ol, dl and li tags:

ul,ol,dl{margin:0;padding:0;list-style:none;list-style-image:none}li{list-style:none}dd{margin:0}

in docs/source/static/theme_overrides.css returns the bullet rendering to normal, but the zero margins defined in several places in that file result in weird formatting of the HTML documentation.

I was trying to tweak other parameters in docs/source/static/theme_overrides.css, but in my opinion the best output is obtained using the default RTD theme CSS styles. Shouldn't we just comment out the html_context override in docs/source/cons.py?

theme_overrides.css has been there since at least 2017: I don't know whether it's still necessary or whether the problem it was working around has been solved upstream in sphinx-rtd-theme since. @CnlPepper can you remember exactly why this was added in the first place?
