1. Modernize latex greek math handling (partially fixes jupyter#1673) …

   The current latex base template uses the ucs package with mathletters,
   but as it does not also set utf8x on inputenc, the ucs package does
   not work as intended, and Greek letters do not appear in math.
   
   As utf8x and ucs are somewhat outdated and problematic, this PR uses
   a few conditions to try to enable Greek letters in both math and text.
   
   For pdflatex, if the alphabeta package (part of greek-inputenc, and
   not necessarily installed) is present, this is used, as it better
   supports Greek math and text, including diacritics.  It it is not,
   ucs with mathletters is used, which will allow math, and some text,
   though diacritics will cause an error.
   
   For xelatex and lualatex, this instead uses unicode-math, which
   handles math well but does not support pdflatex.  While this
   arrangement does support text, note that by default, the fonts used
   are unlikely to include support for Greek text, and the glyphs will be
   omitted (both for text and for monospace text), particularly since
   Latin Modern does not support Greek text.  I have an additional change
   which uses Computer Modern Unicode if available, but I'd like to keep
   these separate, as it's unclear to me that setting the font in this
   template would be a good idea.
   
   Mathpazo for pdflatex is removed for consistency with xelatex/lualatex
   output, and the position of the conditional is moved to avoid an order
   conflict with the ams packages; this more closely matches the position
   of unicode-math in pandoc's template.
