Fix shortcodes not resolving inside math expressions (#14279)

* fix: resolve shortcodes inside math expressions

Shortcodes inside inline and display math (e.g., `$5 + {{< meta five >}}$`)
were not being resolved, producing hex-encoded UUID placeholders in output.

Two gaps in the pipeline both lacked Math node handlers: the UUID restoration
walker in readqmd.lua and the shortcode resolution filter in shortcodes.lua.

Fixes #14255

* docs: add changelog entry for #14255
