Add `line.shape: 'spline'` support to scattergl

[brian428]

It looks like "spline" is missing from the ScatterGL attributes file for line shape options: https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/blob/master/src/traces/scattergl/attributes.js#L51

Part of #130, but yeah this now deserves an issue of its own.

I was reading #130 but I wonder if there is anything more specific to watch about the progress on "spline".
(in the meantime I'm subscribed to this for updated)

Using plotly express line chart with dash. The graph is initially loaded with the 'spline' format but on a callback it fails due to scattergl.line not having 'spline' as a shape property

Same issue here as @Sagaulf This seems like a bug, because the Plotly Express docs don't mention this constraint at all.

Also wondering if there is a fix for this... it seems like in plotly express 'spline' works with svg as the render_mode but not auto in some circumstances.

I have the same problem.
Furthermore, depending on the amount of data (if render_mode=auto) the render mode is switched from svg to webgl. So I currently have the situation when the spline sometimes works, sometimes does not...

I just spent quite awhile trying to figure out why I was getting an exception depending on how much data used, and it turned out to be this. Please fix this.
