feat: document loader for epublications (#2202)

### Summary

Adds a new document loader for processing e-publications. Works with
`unstructured>=0.5.4`. You need to have
[`pandoc`](https://pandoc.org/installing.html) installed for this loader
to work.

### Testing

```python
from langchain.document_loaders import UnstructuredEPubLoader

loader = UnstructuredEPubLoader("winter-sports.epub", mode="elements")
data = loader.load()
data[0]
```

 - Install the Python SDK with `pip install "unstructured[local-inference]"`
 - Install the following system dependencies if they are not already available on your system.
   Depending on what document types you're parsing, you may not need all of these.
-    - `libmagic-dev`
-    - `poppler-utils`
-    - `tesseract-ocr`
-    - `libreoffice`
+    - `libmagic-dev` (filetype detection)
+    - `poppler-utils` (images and PDFs)
+    - `tesseract-ocr`(images and PDFs)
+    - `libreoffice` (MS Office docs)
+    - `pandoc` (EPUBs)
 - If you are parsing PDFs using the `"hi_res"` strategy, run the following to install the `detectron2` model, which
   `unstructured` uses for layout detection:
     - `pip install "detectron2@git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/detectron2.git@v0.6#egg=detectron2"`
