Fullbox

[lukashappe]

Description

Implemented option to close an Axis3's outline box. When the new field fullbox = true for an Axis3-object the 3 remaining spines of the box are created in front of what is inside the space.

Example:

using GLMakie
using FileIO

fig = Figure()
brain = load(assetpath("brain.stl"))
ax = Axis3(fig[1, 1], fullbox=true)

mesh!(ax, brain, color = :gray80)

fig

Fixes #2349

Another question:

When set_theme!(theme_minimal()) and fullbox = true are applied together (I mean, it doesn't really make sense to do so?!), what is the desired behavior?

At the moment, the Result would be like this:

The theme should set these new spines to invisible also.

Maybe fullbox is not the best name either because it doesn't say anything about the other spines, what about front_spines or so?

Hm now that I think about it, do we really need the separate Boolean keyword? Maybe it's enough to just have these three new visible attributes, and they're just false in all default themes.

I see the point. Would you suggest creating a theme (called full_box for example?!) to set all spines visible then?

I don't think a theme is warranted for three values, if people like their plots this way they're going to call set_theme! or so once, it's not something you're likely to do manually on every plot.
