Categorical choropleths with legends

See original GitHub issue

Right now it doesn’t seem like we can make a categorical choropleth by adding multiple traces with the same color and having legend items appear for them: https://codepen.io/nicolaskruchten/pen/MLwyOZ?editors=0010

Ideally I’d want to be able to:

set the color directly, like with marker.color, instead of doing a dance with z and colorscale
have legend entries appear

So that I could easily switch between choropleth and scattergeo like with this one: https://codepen.io/nicolaskruchten/pen/QYbNax?editors=0010
