Re: ANN: new Docker image tagging scheme

[Albert Krewinkel <albert+pandoc-9EawChwDxG8hFhg+JK9F0w@public.gmane.org>]

Addendum:

Due to some changes in upstream LaTeX packages, the xeCJK package is no
longer part of LaTeX images. Including it would have increased image
sizes by more than a third.

I took the opportunity to remove other packages not required for normal
use via pandoc. This shrank the compressed image size by about 10%.

However, if this step also removed packages that you rely on, please
raise an issue on GitHub: <https://github.com/pandoc/dockerfiles/issues>
