Add geom_step(orientation) argument

[teunbrand]

This PR aims to fix #5936.

Briefly, it adds the orientation argument to geom_step().
If orientation = "y", stairsteps are constructed vertically.

In the example below, recall that the steps go from top to bottom, so direction = "hv" first does the horizontal step, then the vertical one (and vice versa for direciton = "vh").

recent <- economics[economics$date > as.Date("2013-01-01"), ]
ggplot(recent, aes(date, unemploy)) +
  geom_point(shape = 21, size = 3, fill = "white") +
  geom_step(aes(colour = "hv"), orientation = "y", direction = "hv") +
  geom_step(aes(colour = "vh"), orientation = "y", direction = "vh") +
  geom_step(aes(colour = "mid"),orientation = "y", direction = "mid")
