[Feature] Using scatter chart in map by region name instead of using coordinates

[jgoncab-arte]

What problem does this feature solve?

Now if you want to use a scatter chart in a map you have to set the coordinates where each bubble is going to be drawn. In my case I only have access to the polygons of the map and I have to calculate a point inside on my own, which is not an easy task in some cases. I have to do it dynamically because maps are created by users.

What does the proposed API look like?

Just like the map series. Use the name of a region to select where do you want it to be drawn unless coordinates are given:

series: [
      {
        type: 'scatter',
        geoIndex: 0,
        coordinateSystem: 'geo',
        data: [
          { name: 'Alabama', value: 4822023 }
        ]
      }
    ]

In this example 'Alabama' references a region so the bubble should be drawn inside of the Alabama's polygon.

see official example for geo pies, note how 'Maine' is referenced by name. You could do the same by making one-value pies to mimic scatter points. 📌 please close issue if problem solved.

It could be a good workaround but obviously the best option is that I could do the same with the scatter points. There are a few official examples of a scatter chart in a map so I think it would be really helpful. If it is not going to be considered, I would rather use https://www.npmjs.com/package/polylabel/v/1.1.0 instead of the pie chart.
