Save whole plotgroup #469

From the GUI, there's no way to save a PlotGroupPanel's whole plotgroup. You can right click on an individual plot to save it, but I often want to save all the plots. In my research copy of Topographica, I can right click on the plot frame (containing all the individual plots) to get a pop-up menu from which I can then choose "save all plots". Unfortunately, my implementation is a hack; there should be a right-click menu for the whole plotgrouppanel to which items can easily be added .

Or, maybe right clicking is going out of fashion (do people right click on a mac?) and there should just be a little save-to-disk icon...

I'm strongly in favor of right clicking; we'll probably want to do other things beyond saving (saving the whole window as a PDF, saving as PNG, etc.), and I wouldn't want to start filling up the windows with icons. Macs apparently (?) have right mouse buttons nowadays, and in any case Bilal seems to have done good work supporting all the various workarounds people have on Macs with a single button...
