ox-latex: Support CUSTOM_ID property as label

* lisp/ox-latex.el (org-latex-custom-id-as-label): New variable.
(org-latex-headline): Optionally generate label keys based on
CUSTOM_ID, depending on value of :latex-custom-id-labels option
(org-latex-link): Optionally generate refs based on CUSTOM_ID,
depending on value of :latex-custom-id-labels option.

This change was discussed in the following thread:

+
+When this variable is non-nil, Org will use the value of a
+headline's CUSTOM_ID property as the key for the \\label command
+for the LaTeX section corresponding to the headline.
+
+By default, Org generates its own internal section labels for all
+headlines during LaTeX export.  This process ensures that the
+\\label keys are unique and valid, but it means the keys are not
+available in advance of the export process.
+
+Setting this variable gives you control over how Org generates
+labels for sections during LaTeX export, so that you may know
+their keys in advance.  One reason to do this is that it allows
+you to refer to headlines using a single label both in Org's link
+syntax and in embedded LaTeX code.
+
+For example, when this variable is non-nil, a headline like this:
+
+  ** Some section
+     :PROPERTIES:
+     :CUSTOM_ID: sec:foo
+     :END:
+  This is section [[#sec:foo]].
+  #+BEGIN_LATEX
+  And this is still section \\ref{sec:foo}.
+  #+END_LATEX
+
+will be exported to LaTeX as:
+
+  \\subsection{Some section}
+  \\label{sec:foo}
+  This is section \\ref{sec:foo}.
+  And this is still section \\ref{sec:foo}.
+
+Note, however, that setting this variable introduces a limitation
+on the possible values for CUSTOM_ID.  When this variable is
+non-nil and a headline defines a CUSTOM_ID value, Org simply
+passes this value to \\label unchanged.  You are responsible for
+ensuring that the value is a valid LaTeX \\label key, and that no
+other \\label commands with the same key appear elsewhere in your
+document.  (Keys may contain letters, numbers, and the following
+punctuation: '_' '.' '-' ':'.)  There are no such limitations on
+CUSTOM_ID when this variable is nil.
+
+For headlines that do not define the CUSTOM_ID property, Org will
+continue to use its default labeling scheme to generate labels
+and resolve links into section references."
