Description
Add Mermaid support. A quick Google shows what appear to be several different markdown-it-mermaid plugins for markdown-it. I'm crossing my fingers that one of them is a de facto winner and that it'll be easy to integrate and not conflict with syntax highlighting. (The way Mermaid embedding typically works is that a fenced code block containing Mermaid code gets rendered as the actual diagram instead of syntax-highlighted mermaid code.)

Done means Mermaid support is integrated and the existing highlighting behavior remains intact.
