Upgrading Mathjax to version 4

@sam and @david

I see that this pull request has been merged and I also notice that you both put in a fair amount of work to push this across the finish line - so thank you very much for that!

I’m not planning on installing this version just yet, since I’ve already got it working sufficiently on my Discourse site; I do have a couple of questions, though.

  1. About the release schedule: The code already appears in main on GitHub. I suppose that if one installed a brand new Discourse instance today, then they would automatically have this brand new version of the the math plugin. Is that correct?
  2. About the loaders: As far as I can tell from the code, it appears that the idea of defining loadMathjax and loadKatex functions in the core was abandoned. The latest version appears to revert to loadScript, though it’s not clear to me where the script is coming from. Is that correct? If so, why is that?

Thanks again!
