eoc latex fails with Could not find goal 'latex', since eo-maven-plugin no longer ships it #1165

Description

@morphqdd

What happens

eoc latex (src/commands/latex.js:20, wired at src/eoc.js:406-413, advertised in README.md:138) runs the Maven goal eo:latex. eo-maven-plugin no longer ships that goal. Its plugin.xml (checked in version 0.62.1, the version currently pinned in eo-version.txt) lists: assemble, atoms-table, clean, compile, format, help, lint, parse, place, print, probe, pull, register, resolve, transpile, unplace, unspile - no latex, and no Mj*Latex class in the jar at all.

Reproduced with a real Maven run:

$ node src/eoc.js --batch --easy -s src -t target latex
...
[ERROR] Could not find goal 'latex' in plugin org.eolang:eo-maven-plugin:0.62.1 among available
goals assemble, atoms-table, clean, compile, format, help, lint, parse, place, print, probe,
pull, register, resolve, transpile, unplace, unspile -> [Help 1]

The command's only test (test/commands/test_latex.js:14) has been disabled with this.skip() since commit cb217ca (2025-06-22), the same commit that bumped the plugin version - so the command has been silently broken for over a year with its own test skipped rather than fixed or removed.

This repo already has a precedent for exactly this situation: #744 ("Could not find goal sodg in plugin org.eolang:eo-maven-plugin:0.58.8") was resolved by #892, which removed the outdated sodg command entirely.

What should happen

Either eoc latex should be removed the same way sodg was (README entry, command file, test, and CLI wiring), or the corresponding eo:latex goal should be restored in eo-maven-plugin. Either way, a user following the README and running eoc latex should not get a Maven MojoNotFoundException after a full register+parse pipeline has already run.
