Add an optional latex compiler engine for tikz block rendering  #3302

@adityasasidhar

Description

@adityasasidhar

An optional installable, super small latex compiler for rendering the Tikz environment components into images.

So we give the user an option to enable an explicit tikz engine, that will trigger a small tectonic install with only the necessary libraries ( less than 500 mb ), to render the Tikz components async into images so that we can embed them into it, instead of the usual tikz code into the Document, this should however be completely optional and can be used with a flag in the CLI or as an argument in the python code.

We limit the current scope of this to only linux and macos based operating systems, we'll have to specifically look into the windows side of this feature in future.

I'm open to implementing this feature.
