Make biber optional

I'm wondering if we can make biber an optional dependency or package instead so we can at least install this package until JuliaPackaging/Yggdrasil#5633 is resolved due to Perl issues

Use jll method to run binary

It's worth considering if the interface to this package should use the same method as the one used by jll packages. This would look like

Tectonic.binary() do t
   run(`$t file.tex`)
end

The reason jll packages use this form is that it allows them the ability to manipulate the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH before running the commands. Even though that might not be useful for this package now, I think its worth doing for two reasons. One, to ensure consistency across the ecosystem, and two, to keep open the possibility that the artifacts could be built and distributed by BinaryBuilder some day as jll packages.

Failed to compile on M1 Mac

When installing TikzPictures.jl, this package fails to build. Below is the (slightly abridged) output from import Pkg; Pkg.precompile(). I'm on a 2020 M1 MacBook Air running macOS 11.4 Big Sur.

I was able to install tectonic separately using homebrew, so perhaps there is a way for this project to support it without too much effort.

Windows still not working

It looks like 0.5.1 was supposed to fix the windows build, but it still doesn't seem fixed.
When I look at the artifact url, I see it repackages tectonic-0.5.1+1-x86_64-w64-mingw32.tar, maybe that should rather be https://github.com/tectonic-typesetting/tectonic/releases/download/continuous/tectonic-0.5.1+20210608-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.zip, which does work indeed.

There seems to be a tectonic jll package. Would it be better to use it directly?

First of all, thanks for having set up all of this! It saved me a ton of headaches in creating https://github.com/Krastanov/Quantikz

As I was looking up more details about this package on juliahub, I stumbled upon https://github.com/JuliaBinaryWrappers/tectonic_jll.jl (Is this something you have done? I can not find the author of this jll package)

Could you consider using that package instead of the artefacts you already have? The main reason I am hoping for this is that the jll package supports more architectures and is (supposedly) much easier to update/recompile/target another system.
