LLPStartPreview doesn't update live when file extension is not '.tex'

[RobertDurfee]

Expected behavior

LLPStartPreview command compiles a LaTeX document and refreshes it at regular intervals, no matter the file extension.

Actual behavior

If the extension is other than '.tex', the document will be compiled only once and will not refresh.

Steps to reproduce

Tell us how it occurs

1. Set file extension to .t (or whatever).
2. Open file in vim.
3. Type ":LLPStartPreview"
4. Start inserting, note that no updates are being compiled.

Hi @RobertDurfee

Can't really think of an usecase of such a feature, but it is implementable ( see hardcoded extension matching there )

( I was just about to commit the fix 😛 )
