Latexmk breaks builds outside when DOCKER_ENABLED=False

[agjohnson]

For users setting up a new instance, we do not recommend that the user uses Docker. Therefore, our attempts to run latexmk fail every build.

To reproduce:

• Set DOCKER_ENABLED=False
• Don't have latexmk installed on your host system
• Run a build
• See the failure in build output

Core team uses Docker exclusively, so this is low priority. New contributors will hit this however. An easy solution would be to check for DOCKER_ENABLED before trying to use latexmk.

@agjohnson should we check if Docker_Enabled=False and then call the function to build latexmk

Now we always recommend using docker compose to contribute to rtd, so I'm closing this
