Description
The request is to add in a feature for `markevery` such that the plot can mark specific points in the plot, where the size, color and shape can be configured, or when not provided, defaults to a set value. A reference to what has been implemented in matplotlib is provided below:

Happy to help with the implementation.

Research direction
Start at the mpf.plot() entry point and review the linked Matplotlib markevery demo to understand the intended behavior. Add support for configuring which points are marked along with marker size, color, and shape, using defaults when options are omitted; done means these settings work through mpf.plot().
