Install/Uninstall TinyTeX
The function install_tinytex() downloads the installation script from
https://github.com/yihui/tinytex according to the platform (Unix or
Windows), and executes it to install TinyTeX (a custom LaTeX distribution
based on TeX Live). The function uninstall_tinytex() removes TinyTeX;
reinstall_tinytex() reinstalls TinyTeX as well as previously installed
LaTeX packages by default; tinytex_root() returns the root directory
of TinyTeX.
