Add support of Mermaid
What does this MR do?
This MR adds support of Mermaid - a tool for generation of diagrams and flowcharts from text.
Known issues
The original mermaid library breaks current GitLab's layout including SVG elements.
The upstream has a bugfix for it which is not merged yet (low maintainers activity).
So until the fix is merged, I have created a forked version of mermaid with all needed fixes (an npm package is published too).
Once the upstream is updated, we should remove the fork and use the original library.
Why was this MR needed?
It adds an ability to draw charts right inside GItLab.
