use U+2217 for multiplication asterisk #2319

Fix #2318 the 'right way' by patching the existing DefMathI call.

I am still wondering how to make the decision which piece of LaTeXML should carry the information, since we have so many possible points of intervention. Just above your change there is a commented out line:

# Redefine, if we want Unicode minus
#DefMathI('-', undef, "\x{2212}", role => 'ADDOP',   meaning  => 'minus');

In that case the Unicode minus is instead "stylized" during the MathML post-processing here.

Were we/Are we trying to keep some of these assumptions out of XMath?

I was puzzled by that U+2212, now I get it. In that case, it seems more consistent to make the change in MathML.pm, I guess. The PR is trivial in either case.
