Title: Added plot_trisurf to 3D axes.

Plot a 3D surface using an irregular grid. Face colours are not yet
supported, neither are masked areas of the triangulation. Both of these
shouldn't be too hard to implement.

I often use tripcolor to plot surfaces on irregular grids, and I have long
yearned for the 'trisurf' functionality in Matlab to actually see the
surface. Instead of waiting for this functionality to make its way into
matplotlib, I eventually decided to dig into the code and do it myself.

I thought I'd share my efforts with the matplotlib community. Perhaps
someone will find this useful.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
