markdown: Update merman renderer to 0.6 (#57967)

Following up on #57644 by @cameron1024, this PR updates `merman` to
v0.6.

With merman 0.6's new raster-safe SVG pipeline, Zed can move generic
`usvg`/`resvg` cleanup passes out of this crate and rely on merman for
them instead.

**What's moved to merman:**
- `foreignObject` fallback text generation
- Unsupported CSS cleanup
- Invalid SVG attribute cleanup

**What's kept in Zed:**
- Theme CSS injection and accent color assignment
- Zed-specific fallback overlay handling

**Integration note:**
In merman v0.6, fallback overlay groups are marked with
`data-merman-foreignobject="fallback"` and preserve source classes like
`node` or `section-*`, so host CSS can still style fallback text. This
PR updates Zed's accent tracker to check for this marker, ensuring
fallback overlays are not treated as real layout nodes.

I also added a render-stage test for the new contract: the SVG output
from `render_mermaid` is already raster-safe before Zed-specific
post-processing runs.
