Upgrade mdbook-pandoc and disable it except during CI workflows (#2212

)

Implements the approach summarized in
google/mdbook-i18n-helpers#200 (comment)
to disable running `mdbook-pandoc` even if it is available to avoid
dependency-related issues during local rendering.

Should address #1911
since `mdbook-pandoc` will no longer run locally.
