Support control over gaps between outer layers of multicategory axes

[Joe-Wasserman]

Adding additional whitespace padding between outer layers of a multicategory axis can improve the legibility of visualizations in many use cases, particularly when the emphasis is on making comparisons within outer-layer categories or between outer-layer categories (not just across all units).

Should be compatible with #2175.

Original discussion of such a feature:

Indeed, I've been pondering if there's a way to improve that. Certainly showing gridlines for the outer category only would help. Trying to think through an analog of bargap / bargroupgap, ie to give a bigger gap at the outer category boundary... but it seems tough to square that with the ticks & gridlines. Also would probably be a major headache to implement, as the spacing between categories would no longer be constant.

Hi is there support for something similar to bargap and bargroupgap with multicategory axes? The goal would be to have a different gaps between bars of an outer category and bars of an inner category. Thanks ! Any other way to achieve this would be helpful :)
