John MacFarlane b4df43b01f LaTeX writer: better fix for lists in definition lists.
In commit a26ec96d89 we added an
empty `\item[]` to the beginning of a list that occurs first
in a definition list, to avoid having one item on the line with
the label.

This gave bad results in some cases (#10241) and there is a more
idiomatic solution anyway: using `\hfill`.

Closes #10241.

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
