Description
I would like the mapbox subplot relayout data to include the lon/lat of the viewport corners. This would make it possible to use a mapbox subplot to display an image layer that is dynamically generated for the current viewport.
The relayout data currently includes mapbox.center, mapbox.zoom, mapbox.bearing, and mapbox.pitch.  I would like to propose that we include a mapbox.coordinates property that contains an array of the lon/lat coordinates of the four corners of the viewport.
This would match the coordinates property that is expected in image layers. See https://docs.mapbox.com/mapbox-gl-js/example/image-on-a-map/.
These points can be generated from the mapbox API by following the example in
mapbox/mapbox-gl-js#2375 (comment).
Question:
Could coordinates be something that is added only to relayout data, or would it need to be a new figure property as well?  The reason it's not clear to me that it should be a property is that it would be read-only.  I don't think we could really support setting coordinates as a way to set where to place the viewport (at least in the case of non-zero bearing and pitch).
