gnu: Add texlive-latex-luatex.
When TeX Live was updated to version 2021 the ‘lualatex’ format started
being generated with the LuaHBTeX engine, but the ‘lualatex’ command still
uses the LuaTeX engine. This causes the command to fail:

  user@popigai:~$ lualatex hello.tex
  This is LuaTeX, Version 1.13.0 (TeX Live 2021/GNU Guix)
  restricted system commands enabled.

  ---! lualatex.fmt was written by luahbtex
  (Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)user@popigai:~$

The correct way to fix this problem would be either to change texlive-bin
to make ‘lualatex’ use the LuaHBTeX engine, or to change texlive-latex-base
to generate ‘lualatex.fmt’ with LuaTeX. Both options would rebuild large
parts of the world.

Ricardo Wurmus suggested creating a new package to provide ‘lualatex.fmt’
for LuaTeX as a workaround. This is what this package does.

Fixes https://issues.guix.gnu.org/51252.

* gnu/packages/tex.scm (texlive-latex-luatex): New variable.
