Description

As discussed here you need to add fill_opacity=0, stroke_width=3 to the Tex constructor for tikz to look like this: image and not like this: image

This should be put in a new MObject.

Research direction
The issue requests adding a new TikzTex MObject that wraps a TikZ picture. The body shows how to modify the Tex constructor with fill opacity=0 and stroke width=3. The implementation should create a new class in the appropriate module (e.g., 'manim/mobject/svg/tex mobject.py'). Review the linked Discord conversation for any additional context. Ensure the class inherits from Tex and overrides the necessary parameters.
