Document standard advice for drawing distant genes #124

Description

@wilkox

Users regularly ask how to handle genes that are far apart along a sequence, where the intervening space dominates the plot and squashes the features of interest (e.g. #77, #71). There isn't currently a place in the docs that answers this, so the same advice gets repeated in issue threads.

Add a short section to the README (and/or the introduction vignette) covering the standard options:

  • Generate separate plots for each region of interest and compose them with the patchwork package.
  • Use the ggbreak package to insert axis breaks.
  • Use ggwrap, which wraps a wide plot over multiple rows, written specifically for plotting long sequences with gggenes.

See the advice given in #77 for the canonical wording.
