Plantuml support

[czhiling]

Thank you very much for developing Marp-vscode.

I would like to ask whether it is possible to render plantuml in Marp -vscode?

Plantuml is powerful yet elegant. It's supported by the extension markdown preview enhanced and some others. It is very useful for us to render many different chart without leaving vscode.

Marp CLI can plug third-party plugin (markdown-it-plantuml) so you can convert Marp Markdown + PlantUML through Marp CLI within VS Code integrated terminal.

const { Marp } = require('@marp-team/marp-core')

module.exports = {
    engine: opts => new Marp(opts).use(require('markdown-it-plantuml'))
}

— marp-team/marp-core#112

Marp for VS Code cannot preview the result of Markdown conversion with plugin. We are scaring to make complex rendering logic and huge security hole.

But I know some user want to customize rendering engine of Marp in VS Code (e.g. marp-team/marp-core#136 (comment)) We might work for supporting plugin if security concerns were resolved.
