FIX: mathtext accents

This is a follow up to #4588 The change in ae91e9f fixed the symbols that started with accent names, but broke all of the other accents. This fixes both by special casing the 8 named symbols that start with an accent as a prefix. ex '\doteq' should be parsed as a single symbol, not as as two symbols (e, q) with a dot over the e ('\dot{e}q')
