[Agda] Expanding literate Agda

[Pepijn Kokke]

If we use ".lagda" then currently agda-mode will be started and all Agda
source is highlighted (and interactive, etc).

If we use ".lagda.tex" then your editor will boot something like TeX-mode,
where the TeX source is highlighted and the Agda source is (hopefully)
untouched.

As I see it, it's really a matter of preference.
