tectonic: Don't wrap with biber
Frequently, users complain about incompatibilities between biblatex from Tectonic's bundle releases, and Nixpkgs' biber version, compiled from texlive's sources. The issue does not happen within Nixpkgs' texlive, and Nixpkgs' biber, since both of them are updated at the same time, and hence are always compatible with each other. Since Tectonic manages it's tex packages bundle by itself, it's natural that there will be incompatibilities between Tectonic's user's distribution `biber`, and Tectonic's biblatex version from Tectonic's bundle. See upstream's issue: https://github.com/tectonic-typesetting/tectonic/issues/893 For the issue not to arise, we simply hope Tectonic's bundle update itself not long after Nixpkgs' texlive packages are updated. In anycase, `tectonic`'s users in Nixpkgs will be better off dealing with incompatibilities without the need to recompile `tectonic` just to change the `biber` path in wrapper.
