Add actor symbol from sequence diagrams to Flowcharts #4787

Open Ogglas opened 1 year ago

Proposal

I know that the Actor symbol is not a part of the common Flowchart Symbols. However it is quite often that we feel the need to show an Actor / User / Person.

Right now we use Trapezoid with fontawesome fa:fa-user to get an actor in but the actor symbol from sequence diagrams would be really nice to have.

Added image above since GitHub does not support fontawesome for Mermaid.

Actors are a common symbol in DFDs used to represent humans that interact with systems. They are typically represented as stick figures.
