Description:

In recent MediaWiki Math extensions, it no longer requires texvc, and requests wikimedia.org by default instead.

Additional info:
* 1.31.1-1
* https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Math#Installation

I've removed texvc and have my MediaWiki generate formulae successfully. Note that there is a bug in MediaWiki that prevents correct request handling that can be fixed manually: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T224853 .

Removing the texvc dependency saves me 500 MiB disk space as I don't use TeX elsewhere.
This task depends upon
