Description
Broken off of #4912 :
Proposed backwards-compatible changes to traces with width parameter:
- Start accepting period lengths
- Defaults to (x|y)period if orientation=(v|h)
- If specified as a period, then the bar widths are variable and the gaps are computed as a percentage of the local bar width

Research direction
Start by reading the related issue #4912 and the trace handling for the width parameter in plotly.js. Determine how period lengths, xperiod/yperiod defaults, variable bar widths, and gaps computed from local bar width should interact; done means all proposed backwards-compatible behaviors are implemented and verified across affected traces.
