Generate deterministic output

See original GitHub issue

Since we’re using the current date for ids of the graphs in the SVG output, we can’t generate a deterministic output and thus we can’t use automated tools to check whether those graph have changed (by just diffing the output)

It was changed here: https://github.com/knsv/mermaid/commit/5b6dfb01a6a3d458893c71249b9e9e7c5a911140 Is there any specific reason to do that? Can we revert that commit or find any other solution? Maybe make this configurable?

I have added a PR here: https://github.com/mermaid-js/mermaid/pull/1787

Please give some feedback. The Date.now() Ids are getting annoying in our setup where prior to each release an SVG is generated and checked into git. Right now the SVG needs to be overwritten every time.

So I added this feature PR.

As a side, the ID could start at some pseudorandom point, determined by the user, or the Base64 string that is given.
