Closes #706
This exposes the public API for adding semantic legends to the figure class. This PR is a shallow pass however.
Currently UltraPlot has an awkward split on the semantic legends under
UltraLegendand the actual thin matplotlib wrapper for the implementation of the legend underLegend. A future refactor would need to integrate these two either through composition to reduce the overhead. It ties closely into a general refactor for theFigureclass in general but is important to note regardless.A follow-up refactor should separate semantic legend content generation from legend placement and rendering. The likely direction is a composition-based design with target-agnostic builders that return
(handles, labels), and thinAxesandFigureadapters that place those legends through their respective public APIs.
