📄 Description

Hi,

We noticed that pages served by gitea locked up when viewing large files, which I tracked down to (mainly) the syntax highlighting javascript. Highlight.js have an example on their docs of moving the actual highlighting to a web worker so that it doesn't block the rest of the page, and this seems to be a big improvement for us so I thought I'd see whether it would be interesting to you.

There are a couple of other places where you use highlight js, but they're for specific situations (preview panes etc) where I wasn't so sure this would be desirable. I'd be happy to extend it to those too if needs be.

Thanks!
