/**
* Renders math blocks sequentially while protecting against DoS attacks. Math blocks have a maximum character limit of MAX_MATH_CHARS. If rendering math takes longer than MAX_RENDER_TIME_MS, all subsequent math blocks are skipped and an error message is shown.

/*
How this works:
The performance bottleneck in rendering math is in the browser trying to reflow the generated SVG.
During this time, the JS is blocked and the page becomes unresponsive.
We want to render math blocks one by one until a certain time is exceeded, after which we stop
rendering subsequent math blocks, to protect against DoS. However, browsers do reflowing in an
asynchronous task, so we can't time it synchronously.
SafeMathRenderer essentially does the following:
1. Replaces all math blocks with placeholders so that they're not mistakenly rendered twice.
2. Places each placeholder element in a queue.
3. Renders the element at the head of the queue and waits for reflow.
4. After reflow, gets the elapsed time since step 3 and repeats step 3 until the queue is empty.
