use {patchwork} instead of {gridExtra} to create a plot grid

[IndrajeetPatil]

I can take care of this change.

For more, see: https://www.data-imaginist.com/2019/patch-it-up-and-send-it-out/

This is a direct replacement with not much change needed in terms of argument specification:

library(patchwork)
library(gridExtra)
library(ggplot2)

p1 <- ggplot(mtcars, aes(wt, mpg)) + geom_point()
p2 <- ggplot(iris, aes(Sepal.Length, Sepal.Width)) + geom_point()

grid.arrange(p1, p2, ncol = 2)
wrap_plots(p1, p2, ncol = 2)

[pchelle]

patchwork (and also cowplot) is not included in the list of validR functions, so not sure if we may use it or not.
@Yuri05 , thoughts ?

[IndrajeetPatil]

It's not a hard dependency (we just suggest it, not import it), so maybe it will be okay?

[Yuri05]

should be ok. also in the next valid R version those packages will be supported (s. below)
