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

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 https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/issues/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)

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

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.
