Make Zero Fill Optional for Line Charts

[gingerwizard]

This appears to have been the default originally and was configurable in Kibana3.

It also appears to still be set based on the chart type:
https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/src/ui/public/vislib/lib/handler/types/point_series.js#L23

Request for this to be exposed as a configuration parameter. When plotting errors over time it is preferable for zero fill to be enabled - errors are more easily spotted. The same effect can be achieved with an area chart but this has a cumulative y-axis.

I will close this issue in favor of #17717, which we'll use to track our progress around having universal fitting functions in charts.
