VimTeX Files

I finally took the time to write up a new release. Again, there are a lot of updates and improvements. Most of the changes are minor improvements, adjustments and polishing, and I don't really want to highlight anything in particular.

My thanks to the community for your continued interest and activity, both on opening issues and contributing with fixes and improvements! 🙏🏻
