John MacFarlane a26ec96d89 LaTeX writer: fix spacing issue with list in definition list.
When a list occurs at the beginning of a definition list definition,
it can start on the same line as the label, which looks bad.

Fix that by starting such lists with an `\item[]`.

This inserts an empty \item[] when a list occurs at the beginning of a definition list definition; otherwise the list may start on the line with the label, which looks terrible. See https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/192480/force-itemize-inside-description-onto-a-new-line
