Remove unnecessary packages from tex_template.tex

[zavden]

With these modifications we avoid having to install the texlive-fonts-extra package.

But sometimes physics is useful

Keep physics at least
I'm also not sure if manim depends on xcolor so might wanna keep that as well

[PhilippImhof]

Same for dsfont. In mathematical contexts, we use these double stroke letters a lot, depending on the subject. Especially in school settings, where these animations are particularly useful. Most people using manim will probably have a full LaTeX distribution installed anyway.

If this gets merged, my PR for customization of the TeX template might come in handy, because people who still need those packages could easily add them even on a per project basis.

pretty sure if all changes are applied then this PR becomes pretty much useless, so we might want to discuss this further

I think we should wait for #48 first

It seems to me that the fundamental thing is to leave Manim with the minimum packages needed for operation, since this avoids installing unnecessary packages.

[leotrs]

I agree! However, as long as all of these packages are part of standard LaTeX distributions, adding or removing a few to the template is not going to change the number of dependencies.
