Respec: Consider use Prism instead of highlight.js

[sidvishnoi]

Prism has:

• arguably better syntax highlighting
• much simpler language loading
• scope for some nice extensions.

Syntax highlighting comparison (color schemes are slightly different):

| Highlight.js | Prism |
| -- | -- |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |
| | |

I honestly don't mind which one we use - I no longer maintain hljs, and if Prism has a good community that maintains the software, all the better. I like the hljs style more tho... it has better contrast for me.

Can we control the CSS rules as we do in highlight.js?

You mean the styling (assets/highlight.css), right? If that, yes.

Great, I vote for prism assuming that we can enhance the contrast. (And optionally upstream the changes 😁)
