bug#33745: Unnecessary dependencies in Coq

I believe that the current Coq package [1] pulls in way too many dependencies.

Firstly, as it was already mentioned on Guix-devel [2], the package pulls in 
texlive and Hevea.
I think those are needed only for building the pdf reference manual.

Secondly, the Coq package depends on lablgtk -- I guess this is needed for 
building CoqIDE.
Unfortunately, it seems that due to this dependency, the package pulls in all 
sorts of stuff, including gstreamer and jack!
The dependency graph generated by `guix graph coq` is absolutely huge.

I think it would be beneficial to split the CoqIDE into a separate package for 
this reason.
