<img>, unlike <object>, has proper alt text support (i.e. that's not just fallback content) and is easily saved, opened in a new tab, etc. from the page where it appears. This does mean the SVG's DOM will no longer be available for inspection by JavaScript in the containing document (e.g. object.contentDocument), but I don't think that was intended to be a feature of SVG output for this Sphinx extension. Resolves <mgaitan#102> as well.

Mermaid.js¹ supports a number of useful diagrams types that are otherwise difficult to create programmatically. The addition now is motivated by wanting to add some sequence diagrams for new authn documentation. The Sphinx/Mermaid integration, sphinxcontrib-mermaid, defaults to client-side rendering at page load time, but this comes with some downsides and practically no upsides. Configure it to render at doc build time instead. Related to this change, I submitted two patches upstream to the Sphinx integration which I think improve the build-time render results: a patch to remove unnecessary JS from the page by default² and a patch to display the SVGs as images rather than embedded documents.³ ¹ <https://mermaid.js.org> ² <mgaitan/sphinxcontrib-mermaid#132> ³ <mgaitan/sphinxcontrib-mermaid#131>
