* Improvements to LaTeX->MathML handling in ODF exporter

Firstly, I felt a need for some support infrastructure for working with
LaTeX fragments in the ODT exporter. I am listing few things that I have
added since our last interaction:

1. Dvipng images & Math formulae created from LaTeX fragments will now
   have the LaTeX fragment as metadata. i.e., In LibreOffice you can see
   the LaTeX source by Image/Equation->Right Click->Description

2. New interactive commands - M-x org-export-as-odf and M-x
   org-export-as-odf-and-open. With these commands you can mark a latex
   fragment and export it as a odf - OpenDocument formula -
   document. The MathML source will be available as part of kill ring
   after the export. (See the docstrings)

3. Embed OpenDocument formula within the exported document by providing
   a link to *.mathml or *.odf file as below.

#+CAPTION: cases with MathJaX
   [[./mathjax-cases.odf]]

   A link with neither caption or nor label will formatted inline type
   while one either or both of these attributes will be formatted as
   display.
