This PR switches the examples of :roman-numeral to use rather than which is more consistent with the spec, and avoids using mathvariant=normal to avoid italic.

It also expands the English giving alternative readings as numbers, so four hundred rather than c d (which matches mathcat behaviour)

I have assumed the double vinculm shown here multiplies by a million if that is the intention the ?? here can be deleted.

@NSoiffer I don't think there is anything contoversial here can I just merge to avoid conflicts down the line if more examples are added?

I wouldn't use MathCAT as a justification for the change. I'm not sure it is a good idea read them as numbers. However, I do believe they were always meant to be in as they are numbers, not identifiers.
