Make the compiling secure and add more compile options (clis) #15

The current way pdf's are compiled is unsecure, as LaTeX is a turing complete language it is very easy to read all the files on the server file system. If flylatex used the clsi then this would be solved, it would also allow for multiple compilers to be used.

Thanks Henry. I'd look into including this in the next version of flylatex.
