[LyX/master] Before this patch, each character within InsetMathClass was output separately, without understanding their meaning, using the default text output (with [] around each character). This commit changes the behaviour to skip the InsetMathClass during the MathML output. This effectively renders the inset useless for MathML (instead of controlling spacing), as expected, because the MathML processor is supposed to handle the spacing itself.

    Before this patch, each character within InsetMathClass was output separately, without understanding their meaning, using the default text output (with [] around each character). This commit changes the behaviour to skip the InsetMathClass during the MathML output. This effectively renders the inset useless for MathML (instead of controlling spacing), as expected, because the MathML processor is supposed to handle the spacing itself.
    
    Another implementation would have been to use the lspace and rspace attributes in MathML, but they require to give the exact spacing before and after the operator instead of relying on rules like TeX.
    
    For instance, `$a\mathbin{+}b$` resulted in this MathML output before the patch:
    
    ```
    <math xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML'>
    <mrow>
     <mi>a</mi><!--  -->
     <mi>[mathbin [char + mathalpha]]</mi>
     <mi>b</mi>
    </mrow>
    </math>
    ```
    
    For comparison, this was the output with LyX 2.3.7
    
    ```
    <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML">
     <mrow>
      <mrow><mi>a</mi><!--  -->
       <mi>[mathbin [char + mathalpha]]
       </mi><mi>b</mi>
      </mrow>
     </mrow></math>
     ```
    
     After this patch, it looks like:
    
     ```
     <math xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML'>
     <mstyle class='math'>
      <mrow>
       <mi>a</mi>
       <mo>+</mo>
       <mi>b</mi>
      </mrow>
     </mstyle>
     </math>
     ```
