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). I think Yadd was going to
take care of it in the Javascript team, but I don’t know the current status.
But in case you want to help, please contact them first.
