xbps-triggers: silence warnings, unhelpful errors in texmf-dist
@fosslinux, please let me know if there's a compelling reason not to merge these changes. User `notreal--` on IRC has complained about [TeXLive configuration errors](https://pastebin.com/SDzvzmAM) when `texlive-minimal` is installed, and the warnings about missing inifiles spam the console.

The texmf-dist trigger produces warnings about missing inifiles that are suppressed by adding the `--quiet` command-line argument. However, this still leaves errors about missing engines when texlive package are installed without texlive-LuaTeX and texlive-XeTeX. The command-line option `--no-error-if-no-engine` is used to suppress these errors about missing optional components.

A patch file from https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/24230.patch is attached

Subject: [PATCH] xbps-triggers: silence warnings, unhelpful errors in
 texmf-dist

The texmf-dist trigger produces warnings about missing inifiles that are
suppressed by adding the `--quiet` command-line argument. However, this
still leaves errors about missing engines when texlive package are
installed without texlive-LuaTeX and texlive-XeTeX. The command-line
option `--no-error-if-no-engine` is used to suppress these errors about
missing optional components.
