avoid webgl for small heatmaps? #12

The webgl heatmap renderer blends colors. Is this a problem? I wouldn't be surprised if this is a low level thing, rather than something that plotly is requesting explicitly.

I think this blending is a caveat mentioned on the original pr: https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/pull/1197

If this really matters, I think what we want is to either make a contribution to core, or fork and make a fix for ourselves.

(Might consider doing a downsampled heatmap, like in the earlier attempt.)
