This PR is to switch the constitution over from LaTeX to Typst.

The content was preserved as can be seen in silver/open-goverance@9e4e37b620
- Pipeline was also fixed up as well
The goal is to make it easier for future members to read/edit in the future.
It also came with a few bonus benifets
- Easier compilation of the PDF
  - LaTeX required compiling it 3 times to get the right output
  - LaTeX also required quite a few dependencies.
- Can now directly link (number wise) to other sections of teh document
  - Fixed one example of an incorrect number in the process

This would also be stage 1 of moving off of bfom and wkhtmltopdf, two dependencies which were put in palce to bodge it.
BFoM is my own rust library which works well enough but is far from ideal.
wkhtmltopdf is basically deprecated
