geom_label doesn't allow for varying line types

[FDylanT]

I would like to be able to manipulate the line type of the box produced by geom_label or annotate("label") (e.g. from a solid to a dashed line). At present, linetype isn't an accepted parameter in this geom, and produces an "ignoring unknown parameters" warning.

Is the goal here to have it as a mappable aesthetic or as a fixed parameter to pass to geom_label()?

Implementing this as a mapped aesthetic is dead simple. I can make a pull request if you like.

We'd be happy to review a PR implementing this. The non-obvious bit that comes to mind is that draw_key_label() needs to reflect the linetype as well.

o.k., I will give it a try next week. Thanks for the hint!
