Enable Selective Opacity

• [x] convert all 2D colormaps to RGBA format
• [x] disable RGBA format for 3D colormaps until plotly can support

@Luthaf I've made it through the first pass on the branch feat/rgba. Currently, there are no opacity-affected colormaps, so I included a commented line in src/maps/colorscales.ts to uncomment to demonstrate the new functionality. Thoughts on the structure? If it looks good I'll move ahead with opacity modes.

Why do you say that this wouldn't work in 3D? seems it's enough to set trace opacity to 0.99999 and then it honors the alpha channel https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/issues/3492

I remember that there where some other issues with transparency in 3D with plotly (related to depth buffer & points appearing on top of others), but we can check if the fix would work for us!
