📑 Summary

Updated jison definition for Actor. The naming rules were different if the Actor was followed by a config object such as

sequenceDiagram
        participant shop-db@{ "type" : "database" }
        actor user-service@{ "type" : "actor" }
        shop-db->>user-service: Query

Resolves #8085

📏 Design Decisions

Simple change to the regex so it would match the other actor definitions

@knsv no rush if you are just busy and haven't had a chance to review this. I just wanted to do a quick ping to make sure there is nothing waiting on me since this is the first pull request of mine in this project that I think is merge-able :) (my previous one I thought could be merged, but encountered some situations that it wasn't workable for and I didn't know how to resolve them)

If there are any things outstanding that I need to do, please let me know. Otherwise I'll just wait patiently till the team is able to review
