Implement `hovertemplate` for all traces that support hover

See original GitHub issue

Building on top of https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/pull/3126, https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/pull/3284, https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/pull/3398 and https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/pull/3436 hovertemplate is now supported for trace types: scatter, bar, pie, histogram, scattergl, sankey, scatterpolar, barpolar, scatterternary, scatterpolargl, choropleth, scattergeo and scattermapbox.

The “missing” trace types are:

contour, heatmap, histogram2d, histogram2dcontour
box and violin (for points done in https://github.com/plotly/plotly.js/pull/3685 | otherwise not implemented)
all the gl3d trace types: scatter3d, surface, mesh3d, stremtubes, cone, isosurface
scattercarpet
ohlc and candlestick
splom
parcats
pointcloud, heatmapgl and contourgl (are we deprecating those trace types in v2?)

Yup! I would say that scatter3d is the most important remaining one, followed by parcats and splom, then contour/heatmap/surface then the the histogram2d ones
