templates Add LaTeX writing template with `latexmk`

Having a local development environment for LaTeX is a real nightmare. Nix and nixpkgs bring some sanity to that world but I was surprised to see that there wasn't a straightforward LaTeX flake template for just getting a simple main.tex compiled to PDF.

I've added a simple template here for getting people from scientific writing interested in the Nix ecosystem.

Please provide feedback and I'll tweak this accordingly!

Looks okay. It will need a few additions into the flake.nix to expose it to users.

What should I add?

Anything holding this back?

A few lines similar to these: https://github.com/NixOS/templates/blob/master/flake.nix#L28

(Sorry for the delay.)

Thanks @tomberek and no worries on that! 👏

I think this is good to go now then.
