better error message for size

[lmiq]

Description

If the size parameter of the plot is provided in the wrong format, provide a sensible error message. Current the behavior does not provide an indication on where the input problem is:

julia> using Plots

julia> plot(size=())

Some type information was truncated. Use `show(err)` to see complete types.

which when in the middle of a larger script can be really hard to track, as the error only manifest when the figure is being shown or saved.

With this change, we get:

julia> plot(size=())
Error showing value of type Plots.Plot{Plots.GRBackend}:
ERROR: ArgumentError: plot size must have length = 2, got size = ()
Stacktrace:

and

julia> plt = plot(size = ());

julia> savefig(plt, "teste.png")
ERROR: ArgumentError: plot size must have length = 2, got size = ()

Which are much more clear.

Things to consider

• Does it work on log scales?
• Does it work in layouts?
• Does it work in recipes?
• Does it work with multiple series in one call?
• [ X ] PR includes or updates tests?
• PR includes or updates documentation?
