Fix opaque background on mermaid diagrams (#21642) (#21652)

Backport #21642

Browsers introduce a opaque background on iframes if the iframe
element's color-scheme does not match the document's color scheme which
in case of a dark theme results in a mismatch and the browser adds a
white background. Avoid this by specifying the same color scheme outside
and inside the iframe.

See https://fvsch.com/transparent-iframes for more info.

My initial attempt was to make the iframe document the same color-scheme
as the parent page (light or dark) but with that, there was a ugly
background flash on load in Chrome because Chrome apparently always
loads iframe in light scheme initially. Firefox still shows a background
flash on load but this is not possible to get rid of and it's certainly
a browser bug.
