Feature Request: Make bayesplot_grid objects a ggplot object #268

Related to #128 and to several other questions (such as https://discourse.mc-stan.org/t/manipulating-bayesplot-plots/4419).

It would be handy if bayesplot_grid objects could be modified like any other ggplot object. I understand that it is not currently a ggplot object is "It wasn't possible (at least it didn't seem possible when we tried) to get the plot how we wanted it to look without creating separate plots and combining them in a grid like that." (according to @jgabry in #128 (comment)).

But, as I am running into issues much like those in #128 where I want to modify the figure after it is created, it would be helpful to use normal ggplot mechanics to do so.

I'm trying to work around this by using cowplot::plot_grid() or similar functions on the return_value$bayesplot list of plots.

Is there interest in converting a bayesplot_grid object into something that can be used with normal ggplot2? (If so, I can try to generalize what I'm working on into a PR. If not, I won't.)

Yeah that would be great! My only concern would be if changing bayesplot_grid() like this would break backwards compatibility. But if it would then we could just use a new function name and deprecate bayesplot_grid().
