Feature request: break axis #2481

I think it would be useful to start experimenting with an API for breaking axes such that different scale of values are seemingly shown in one figure.

Matplotlib already has something similar https://matplotlib.org/3.1.0/gallery/subplots_axes_and_figures/broken_axis.html

And there has also been some requests about it in discourse: https://discourse.julialang.org/t/break-axis-in-makie/62729/10 https://discourse.julialang.org/t/makie-jl-figure-with-broken-axis/85062

One could do this using a Makie.PointTrans today, it's just that the axis wouldn't visualize it accordingly.

This wouldn't work because lines across the gap would be drawn without a visual break. The two axis approach is simplest I think.
