Automatic gene symbols lookup in plotting

See original GitHub issue

In plotting functions: Why not automatically lookup gene symbols from .var['gene_symbols'] if it’s present? Then we don’t have to add and check for a gene_symbols parameter everywhere…

I wasn’t aware of read_10x_h5 creating a .var['gene_symbols'] column. In that case it’s quite an elegant solution for people who read in 10x data directly. There will probably be more people who use read_10x_h5 and read_10x_mtx than people who do not want to plot gene symbols. In that case I guess the convenience of the many outweighs the needs of the few.

Maybe output something to say that the gene_symbols column in var is being used for plotting when it is found. Then it’s not like some magic is happening in the background of which the user is ignorant.
