Update maxima to 5.42.2 #26625

@antonio-rojas

Description

@antonio-rojas

Also change the command line argument from -r (run in interactive mode) to --batch-string (run in batch mode), which is what we want here. The only reason it worked before was a bug in maxima that made -r behave like batch mode [1]. This is fixed in 5.42, so using -r now makes the maxima interface hang waiting for input.

--batch-string also echoes the input, so we need to remove one more line before processing the output.
