Description

Create a new series type that draws pixels. It is similar to st=:scatter with smallest size and no border if backend cannot draw pixels natively. PyPlot and GR are capable of this where the benefit is vastly faster plotting for huge data where line plots take too long

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study existing series types like scatter, then create a new pixel series type that either uses native pixel drawing (via backends that support it) or falls back to scatter with minimal marker size and no border. Look at how backend specific implementations are handled in the codebase.
