Suggestion for the 'releasing to CRAN' chapter: install TinyTeX & install makeindex LaTeX package

Since devtools::check(remote = TRUE, manual = TRUE) is advised, the tools must be present locally to build the PDF manual in order to make sense.

In my (limited) experience, following should be sufficient:

tinytex::install_tinytex()
tinytex::tlmgr_install("makeindex")

I think this would be a useful addition to the 'releasing to CRAN' chapter.
