Add Rails Mermaid ERD gem

Why these changes are being introduced:

EngX has been discussing ways to add more visual documentation
to our applications. The Rails Mermaid ERD gem is one way to
achieve that.

Relevant ticket(s):

N/A

How this addresses that need:

This adds the Rails Mermaid ERD gem and a note about updating
the diagram to the PR template. However, it does not include the
actual ERD markdown, because seems that it doesn't actually work
just yet (see side effects).

Side effects of this change:

There's a Mermaid rendering issue on GitHub. Apparently, [this has
been fixed upstream, but GitHub is a few versions behind](mermaid-js/mermaid#4388).

I think it makes sense to add the gem for now, but I'm open to
waiting until everything is working properly.
