latex: use timetravel/history to show what has changed since the last successful compilation #761

I'm not sure exactly how to do this yet, but with SMC's history we could record whether or not compilation succeeded whenever it is attempted, then use that information to tell users how they messed up their LaTeX documents to break them. It would be a killer feature and save us a lot of support time (all of the "my file won't compile anymore" support requests)!
