Remove the polyfill.io script from the docs - #2625

Conversation
The polyfill.io domain changed hands in 2024 and now serves hostile responses to anyone still loading it, which browsers surface as a spurious login prompt on our docs pages. MathJax 3 needs no ES6 polyfill on any browser it supports, so the tag is dropped rather than repointed at a mirror. The already-published HTML on gh-pages was swept separately, since the tag is baked into every generated page.

The
polyfill.iodomain changed hands in 2024 and now serves hostile responses to anyone still loading it. Browsers surface that as a spurious username/password dialog on our docs pages, which is what visitors have been reporting on https://sciinstitute.github.io/ShapeWorks/latest/. Nothing of ours was compromised — the behavior is entirely on their end.The tag came from the old MkDocs-Material MathJax snippet. MathJax 3 needs no ES6 polyfill on any browser it still supports, so it is dropped rather than repointed at the Cloudflare mirror.
Removing it here only affects newly built docs — the tag is baked into every generated page — so the published HTML on
gh-pageswas swept separately (3519 files across 6.2–6.7, one identical line removed from each) and is already live.
