Remove --jobname arg from LuaLaTeX invocation
* tex.el (TeX-engine-alist-builtin): Remove --jobname argument which
causes trouble for advanced usages (See
https://lists.gnu.org/r/auctex/2026-03/msg00000.html)
This argument used to be there for compatibility with very old LuaLaTeX.
* NEWS.org: Announce the removal and give instruction for users who need
--jobname argument.

** Changed
- Support new language names provided by babel-german v2.99.
+- Remove ~--jobname~ argument from default LuaLaTeX invocation. If this
+ causes trouble for you, we first recommend to update your (very old)
+ TeX distribution. But if you can't do that for some reason, add the
+ following entry to the customize option ~TeX-engine-alist~:
+ #+begin_src emacs-lisp
+ (luatex "LuaTeX" "luatex" "lualatex --jobname=%(s-filename-only)" "luatex")
+ #+end_src
