Enable 2D structures as aesthetics

[teunbrand]

This PR aims to fix #4189 and fix #6090.

Briefly, this PR would allow people to use 2D structures like matrices, data.frames and tibbles as aesthetics. We just had to adopt the {vctrs} way of measure sizes and setting names at select places for this to. Importantly, this does not implement appropriate scales for such aesthetics, but it removes a barrier for extension developers to implement them.

df <- mtcars
df$tib <- tibble::tibble(mpg = df$mpg, disp = df$disp)
df$mtx <- cbind(mpg = df$mpg, disp = df$disp)

p <- ggplot(df, aes(cyl, disp, dummy = tib)) +
  geom_point()
