[luatex] Synchronize ERROR: unknown node type 11

[Jérôme LAURENS]

I won’t change anything because I am the library author and you are using the library out of its purpose.

With such kind of duplication there is no gain in synchronization accuracy. On the contrary, the cost of synchronization is bigger (bigger write,  bigger read, bigger parse and bigger search) . So either use `synctexmath` or `synctexhorizontalruleorglue` but not both on the same node.
