MAINT: Update dependencies and revitalize the CI pipeline

[florin-pop]

This PR fixes https://github.com/mne-tools/mne-nirs/issues/506 by introducing the following changes:

• have pip install packages directly from git instead of GitHub tarballs or zipballs
• replace footer_items (which is deprecated) with footer_start in doc/conf.py
• fixes a typo
• install libxcb-cursor0 in addition to the rest of libxcb dependencies

These fixes were mostly adaptations of changes introduced by @larsoner in https://github.com/mne-tools/mne-python/

Thanks @florin-pop it looks good to me. I also looked through the rendered docs and they were correct (including the 3d renders).

Could you please revert the change you wanted to revert and then ping Eric to merge.

I remembered I can revert the change myself ;) So we don't need to bug Eric now and I'll merge when all green
