Defer javascript load

Heya, at the moment the javascript load blocks the initial page render.
This is acutely problematic, if for example unpkg.com is being slow, as I just experienced in the MyST documentation ๐
You need to add the loading_method="defer"
:
https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/extdev/appapi.html#sphinx.application.Sphinx.add_js_file
You then need to account for this in the initialisation, something like:
window.onload = function () {mermaid.initialize({startOnLoad:true})}
Ideally even, I see that you use html-page-context to load the JS, but here you should also only load it on pages where mermaid is actually used
