Add ability to allow for more than 8 stop in the visual variable of a simple renderer.
For exemple in this code:
let rendererTemperature = new SimpleRenderer( {
symbol: new SimpleMarkerSymbol({
style: "circle",
color: [250, 250, 250],
outline: {
color: [255, 255, 255, 0],
width: 0.5
},
size: "8px"
}),
visualVariables: [
new ColorVariable( {
field: "TEMPERATURE",
stops: [
// Limited to 8 stops
{ value: 35, color: new Color([185, 7, 0, 255]) },
{ value: 20, color: new Color([241, 87, 0, 255]) },
{ value: 10, color: new Color([255, 200, 1, 255]) },
{ value: 5, color: new Color([253, 253, 118, 255]) },
{ value: -5, color: new Color([106, 221, 243, 255]) },
{ value: -10, color: new Color([49, 179, 244, 255]) },
{ value: -25, color: new Color([62, 121, 247, 255]) },
{ value: -40, color: new Color([90, 42, 215, 2555]) },
]
})
]
});
Reasoning: While it is generally not recommanded to have too many different colors on a map, there can be use cases where having more stop is helpful. For exemple, when showing temperatures in a region where the annual variation is important. The same renderer in used for winter temperature (that can go as low as -40celcius) and summer ones (that can go as high as 35 celcius), but only a portion of the renderer "stops" will be seen for a given moment of the year. Being limited to only 8 stops means that for a given day of the year, only about 1 or 2 stops will be seen and we won't be able to distinguish regional temperature variations.
