(bottom layer) implement tex / pdf generation commands (shell out to console)

[ArchibaldBienetre]

Encapsulate the shell commands we need:

• mv, pdfunite, Latex (Tex live): texi2pdf
• Check that they exist, give a good error message if something is missing!
• UPDATE: mkdir, mv, rm (-r), pdfunite, texi2pdf

Ideally, use the ProcessBuilder API

• https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/index.html?java/lang/ProcessBuilder.html
• https://www.baeldung.com/java-lang-processbuilder-api

Without knowledge of the concrete commands (@DonMischo should provide those!), I can start by creating a utility for calling them, and have a look at the API of Process(Builder)

@DonMischo is taking over :)

• [ ] add concrete commands for texi2pdf as a utility class
  • [ ] add simple test
• [ ] add concrete commands for pdfunite as a utility class
  • [ ] add simple test case: merge 2 simple PDFs (e.g., one with text "page 1", one with text "page 2"), check that merged PDF contains text of both PDFs - e.g. using PDFStripper https://stackoverflow.com/q/23813727/1143126

Thanks, I updated the code accordingly https://github.com/SergelsOrg/csv2tex/pull/37/commits/7df8e89fad00b2ba955377f68768bfa7843c88d5
