Evaluate possible use of diagrams package (replace mermaid) #127

Mermaid is nice, but there is complexity on topology generation and overlapping items (in case big topo). There is diagrams py package - which can generate image and we could show it. Something to try out and see if that gives nicer output. https://diagrams.mingrammer.com/docs/getting-started/examples

Here is what needs to be implemented:

[ ] In addition to mermaid - it should also generate diagrams graph and store image on a directory, e.g. /srv/images/
[ ] http endpoint should allow unauthenticated access to get images (will be needed for next step)
[ ] grafana html panel template - which loads specified image in grafana dashboard

We would have it running in parallel for few shots and compare how it looks between mermaid and diagrams
