ENH: bounds for plane sampling

If bounds provided have a common co-ordinate (squeezed box), it doesn't warn.

• add a warning

cross ref: EP#519

Currently we can check for validity, but adding a check for dimensionality might work.

• 0 = none (invalid)
• 1 = point (or line too)
• 2 = line or plane ?
• 3 = box

Nice (apart from that dimensionality of point is 0)

• -1 = invalid
• 0 = point
• 1 = line
• 2 = plane
• 3 = box

Was discussing this Prashant at the time. Would tend to simplify this again since we can't really speak of lines and planes but the dimensionality of the box

• 3 = box. All three dimensions are +ve, non-zero.
• 2 = flat-pack. Only two dimensions are +ve, non-zero.
• 1 = axis. Only one dimension is +ve, non-zero.
• 0 = point or empty/invalid.

As discussed, could we also manage a bounding sphere for the plane? The plane point would define the origin and an additional radius to limit the extend. This would make it independent of the global orientation.
