#6591: Implement view(object, viewer='pdf') and view(object, tightpage = True)

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
This small patch implements:
{{{
sage: view(object, viewer = "pdf")
}}}
which works even under the notebook.
Typical use cases:
* you prefer your pdf browser to your dvi browser
* you want to view latex snippets which are not displayed well in dvi
viewers or jsmath (e.g. tikzpicture)
Potential extensions: view(object, viewer='png'), view(object,
viewer='html')
This partially reinstates #5920 which got a positive review and was said
to be merged and closed, but apparently later discarded upon the merge of
the overlapping #6012 (pdflatex option)
This patch also adds a tightpage option, which uses the preview package to
create a document with each displaymath on a single page whose size is
exactly that of the displaymath. This is for example useful for very large
pictures (graphs!) generated with tikz.
