widen types so rich text can be used in legends

[jkrumbiegel]

Making RichText not <: AbstractString anymore had the unintended consequence of making it unusable with Legend due to AbstractString type constraints in a couple of places. Now I've made this Any because String, LatexString and RichText are all so different anyway.

Compile Times benchmark

Note, that these numbers may fluctuate on the CI servers, so take them with a grain of salt. All benchmark results are based on the mean time and negative percent mean faster than the base branch. Note, that GLMakie + WGLMakie run on an emulated GPU, so the runtime benchmark is much slower. Results are from running:

using_time = @ctime using Backend
# Compile time
create_time = @ctime fig = scatter(1:4; color=1:4, colormap=:turbo, markersize=20, visible=true)
display_time = @ctime Makie.colorbuffer(display(fig))
# Runtime
create_time = @benchmark fig = scatter(1:4; color=1:4, colormap=:turbo, markersize=20, visible=true)
display_time = @benchmark Makie.colorbuffer(display(fig))
