* Create a new hook to enable data decimation
The `beforeElementUpdate` hook can be used to decimate data. The chart
elements will not be created until after this hook has fired ensuring that
if decimation occurs, only the needed elements will be created.
* Address code review feedback
* Rename hook to beforeElementsUpdate
* Simplify parsing logic
* Add decimation plugin to the core
* Allow a dataset to specify a different data key
* Decimation plugin uses the dataKey feature
* Refactor the decimation plugin to support configurable algorithms
* Lint the plugin changes
* Tests for the dataKey feature
* Convert test files to tabs
* Standardize on tabs in ts files
* Remove the dataKey feature
* Replace dataKey usage in decimation plugin
We define a new descriptor for the `data` key allowing the
plugin to be simpler.
* Disable decimation when indexAxis is Y
* Simplify the decimation width approximation
* Resolve the indexAxis correctly in all cases
* Initial documentation
* Reverse check
* Update TS definitions for new plugin options
* Move defineProperty after bailouts
* Add destroy hook
* align text inside chart for far-aligned labels
* added fix for failing test on suggestion of @kurkle

* Create standardized text render method
* Document renderText options and enable configurable decoration width
* Add tests for font rendering
* Split color definition to it's own file
* renderText supports setting styles
* Mock context needs to track textBaseline
* renderText can set textAlign and textBaseline
* renderText does not mutate the context + translate/rotate
* Explicitly set the text decoration style
* Move useStroke logic into renderText
* Cartesian scale: Update computeLabelItems to avoid duplicate allocations
* Enable axis tick styling independent of grid lines
* Change tickMarkLength to tickLength for consistency with new options
* Add new scale options to TS definitions

Add JSDoc.
Fix some minor issues with grammar and coding style consistency.
When the legend is not displayed, there are no guarantees that the
format of the options dictionary is correct. Rather than performing
computations and then exiting without using the results, we can instead
exit quickly since the size of the legend will be (0, 0) if not displayed
When `Chart.register()` was called twice in a row, the list of
plugin descriptors on the chart instance would be cleared. The
next chart update would then restart all of the plugins, not
knowing that they were already started. In the case of the Legend
and Title, this causes two boxes to appear in the layout system
thus drawing twice.
