feat(mathematica.py): Improve easyblock to support license server con…

[planetmija]

...figuration and version-specific executable names

The executable names have changed for Mathematica 14. I asked Claude Sonnet 4.5 to modify the script using the installer output below. I also added an option to specify the licence file via the environment variable EB_MATHEMATICA_LICENSE_SERVER.

It's 100% AI, but it works and looks OK to me. Feel free to make changes.

WolframScript allows Wolfram Language code to be run from the command line and from self-executing script files. It is
always available from /tmp/ma/14/Executables/wolframscript. WolframScript system integration makes the wolframscript binary
accessible from any terminal, and allows .wls script files to be executed by double-clicking them in the file manager.

NOTE: Because you are not logged in with root privileges, you cannot install the optional WolframScript system
integration at this time.  To do this after installation, run

    rpm -Uvh "/tmp/ma/14/SystemFiles/Installation/wolframscript-1.13-20250307871.x86_64.rpm"

as root.

contains files and/or directories that may be overwritten during
installation. If you have any files you wish to keep in this directory,
you should exit the installer and move the files to a separate directory
before continuing.

I checked the older versions on another cluster and obtained the following results. wolfram --version works for versions 12.2.1 to 14.2.1. Alternatively, one could switch to wolframnb --version for v14.2.1.

My cluster v14.2.1:
