Support for R grid package in ggplotly

[jackparmer]

For multiple plots that are laid out in a grid using the R grid package, looks like ggplotly only grabs the first of those plots:

Ie, this:

Turns into this with ggplotly:

Would be cool if we used Plotly subplots for these.

I'm pretty sure translating that code directly isn't possible because of the package design and R internals.

However, we could make it easier to make subplots, which is something I can take into consideration for the redesign. Maybe we could handle a list of ggplots, so something like this:

ps <- list(
  plot1 = qplot(rnorm(100)),
  plot2 = qplot(rnorm(100)),
  layout = list(yaxis = list(domain = c(0, 0.3)))
)
plotly(ps)

That would be cool!

The new subplot() function is aimed at this problem. @jackparmer feel free to open another issue if there is some sort of functionality that you think subplot() should support but doesn't.
