Fix #9330: versionchanged causes error during pdf build

The versionchanged directive breaks doctree if its contents start with
non-paragraph element (ex. lists, tables, and so on).  It causes build
error in LaTeX.

This inserts a paragraph if the first child of the contents is not a
paragraph not to break doctree.
