What steps will reproduce the bug?

Hi! We are using @diplodoc/transform, and our users have noticed that when rapidly switching between screens containing markdown content, the memory usage of the tab keeps increasing. We found the cause in these lines of code. In short, due to the initializations of markdown-it and its plugins for each markdown transformation, a memory leak occurs.

We made some modifications in the code within node_modules: now, the initMarkdownIt function is called only once:

function getTransformer(options = {}) {
    const { parse, compile, env } = (0, md_1.default)(options);

    return (originInput) => {
        const input = applyLiquid(originInput, options);

        try {
            return emitResult(compile(parse(input)), env);
        }
        catch (error) {
            handleError(error, options.path);
        }
    }
}

And the issue was resolved. The memory consumption stopped increasing.

What is the expected behavior?

It is expected that with each use of the transform function, markdown-it along with its plugins will not be initialized uncontrollably, thereby preventing memory clutter.

What do you see instead?
