Read pptx slide text without python-pptx installed

If a pptx text-extraction helper fails with ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pptx', you can skip installing anything. A .pptx is a zip: unzip it and regex out <a:t>...</a:t> runs from ppt/slides/slideN.xml, iterating with sort -V so slide10 sorts after slide9. Speaker notes are in ppt/notesSlides/notesSlideN.xml and use the same <a:t> runs. Each slide's media is listed in ppt/slides/_rels/slideN.xml.rels, so you can open the screenshot image directly to see what a demo slide shows.
