Description

"Render LaTeX maths in messages" has been a labs feature forever, and since it has landed in the Matrix spec we'd like to de-labs it.

We need to do a few things for this to happen:
- [ ] Ensure product are happy that we support rendering in messages exclusively.
- [ ] Check for outstanding showerstoper bugs
- [ ] Delabs the feature https://github.com/element-hq/element-web/pull/33320

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked pull request #33320 and the existing LaTeX message-rendering implementation. Check the product-approval and showstopper-bug checklist items, then confirm that rendering works exclusively in messages and that the labs status can be removed.
