MathJax v3 is a complete rewrite of MathJax, and it is incompatible with
MathJax v2 [1].

So MathJax v3 needs to be packaged as a new source and binary package,
therefore this bug is RFP, not a request for upgrade.

Actually, an RFP was already filed, so I am merging this bug into that.

I am not going to do it myself because I don't have any nodejs or typescript
skills (the source code [2] is using them now), but if you or someone else
who reads this believes they can handle it, please do it.
