I tried this approach by passing "-t es6" to tsc. And it works!

In the attached simple HTML page, math renders fine.

One thing that bothers me is that we ship ES 6 code in a directory named es5,
but in my opinion it's better than shipping code which does not work at all.

Also, it looks like in mathjax-full 4.0.0-beta.7 the produced directories are
named "cjs" and "mjs" [1], so after upgrade we will have no such problem.
