Optional folding when backward searching

[Eryx5502]

Hi!

When using backward search (at least with zathura as viewer), the function vimtex#view#reverse_goto is used to jump to the correct location in the .tex. Right now this function perfoms a folding (with normal! zMzvzz), which folds some things out if folding is enabled.

It would be useful (at least to me) to be able to have folding enabled but not getting the fold status of the buffer changed when using backward search. I haven't found an option to modify this behaviour through the docs, so right now I have commented out the line doing the folding as a workaround.

I can see how this is opinionated! Perhaps it would be better to remove the normal! command and add an event that allows the user to customize this action?

E.g., to get the current behaviour, my suggestion implies that users would have to add something like this to their vimrc file:

augroup VimTeX
  autocmd!
  autocmd User VimtexReverseGoto normal! zvzz
augroup END

That sounds like a nice solution, and the posibility of further customization could be useful for some users.

Thanks for the awesome work!

Great, I've implemented this now. Let me know what you think. Notice the new example under :help VimtexEventViewReverse in the docs.
