view_distance parameter in show_geometry has no effect

[lauramurgatroyd]

Description

I would expect this to change how zoomed in the geometry appears but it has no impact

Environment

import cil, sys
print(cil.version.version, cil.version.commit_hash, sys.version, sys.platform)

24.1.0 -1 3.12.5 | packaged by conda-forge | (main, Aug 8 2024, 18:36:51) [GCC 12.4.0] linux

This is relevant for the hyperspectral CIL-Demos: we want to make this more zoomed in

The matplotlib 3D axis distance was deprecated in matplotlib 3.6, they recommend using zoom now.
