🎉 Start removing Diagnostics & Plots in PyMC3 development

🔥 Remove arviz plots
* Remove directly imported arviz plots used in pymc3 plots

🔥 Remove all plots from PyMC3 Plots module

🔥 Remove PyMC3 plots references in Docs

🎨 Mention Plotting & Diagnostics in API page and remove plots reference in __init__.py

⏪ Revert posterior_plot function, test, and docs

🎨 Add deprecation warning to posterior_plot function

🎨 Add context on plot import and import back into __init__.py

✏️ Add warning and details of posterior_plot added

Update docs/source/api/plots.rst
