PDF embed directive

[ashwinvis]

For EVITA, we implemented a pdfembed directive to accomodate slides. Can this be added to sphinx-lesson?

I wanted to avoid the overhead of creating yet another Python package 😅

Question to @rkdarst obviously. For some context, the only available other packages are:

• https://github.com/SuperKogito/sphinxcontrib-pdfembed, and
• https://github.com/steinerAdi/sphinx-embedPDF

Which look either too hardcoded or too complex, and in case unavailable in PyPI.

A known caveat with the current implementation is that I can only access the PDF in the _static directory. I haven't figured out how to copy over the file into _build given a relative path.
