Closes #56466

To be completely honest I don't know if this is a good fix or not, it
does fix the problem I was running into where opening the large mermaid
diagram would blow up VRAM. It doesn't look amazing visually but I would
consider this behavior better, if it's not a good fix then that's okay:)

I chose 8192 because 8192 only brings VRAM usage up ~100MB in my testing
while 16384 brought my VRAM usage up to about 1GB from 150-200MB, for
lower end systems this seems unacceptable.

Before:
I can't take a screenshot of the before at this point because it eats my
system VRAM & Memory too fast. As a text description; It would show a
large empty rectangle where the mermaid diagram should be and blow up
Zed's VRAM usage from ~300MB to ~22GB (all of the available VRAM in my
system)

After:

/> (Up from ~150MB), the 257MiB figure is the GPU Memory.

Release Notes:
