Use surfacecolor, if defined, instead of z to color the contour lines

See original GitHub issue

I suggest that when usecolormap in surface.contours is true, the lines should be colored using the surfacecolor, if defined, otherwise it will use the colorscale as a fallback.

Demo

As you can see in the demo, i’d like the countours in the second scene to use the surfacecolor as a source for coloring instead of the default colorscale that they currently use.

Thanks in advance!
