Circular dependency causes problems for `bazel` users

[Tom-Newton]

The bug

If I depend on textual in my bazel build it fails with

This is because textual depends on markdown-it-py["plugins"] and the plugins option creates a cycle. Probably only bazel users care about this, but bazel needs to contruct an acyclic graph of dependencies to function, so for us its a blocker on using textual or any library that depends on textual.

With this change the dependenies are the same but there is no cycle, so it will make bazel users happy. Would you be willing to make such a change?

For a little bit of context, it seems this used to be a broader issue with markdown-it-py executablebooks/markdown-it-py#155, but now its only a problem when using markdown-it-py["plugins"]
