Plotting

[skygering]

• Allow plotting functions to take in any Julia specifications to personalize the plots
• Add ocean vectors

Plots is causing all type of problems with animations. For example (JuliaPlots/Plots.jl#4213). Plotting should be moved to Makie or another library.

We did switch to Makie. However, I now think that this should be abstracted from the code entirely. Since we are now swapping over to having the Polygons be stored by the Floe objects, I think we can just have a Floe output writer that saves the polygon objects in a file that is meant to store shapes (along with a floe ID).

These are super easy to write with GeoInterfaceMakie. In that case, there is barely any plotting code that is needed... this might be an example of a good extension... or maybe even just an example script. I am not sure on what the best format is.

I have now moved the plotting code to an extension that is only loaded when CairoMakie is loaded. We should still switch to using GeoInterfaceMakie to plot the polygons directly and clean up some of the included code. However, making it into an extension should help reduce the pre-compliation time.

The above comments are addressed in #99! It is now merged to main and this issue can be closed.
