Description of the desired feature

Some functions like histogram and plot have a -Gp or -GP option (in PyGMT, -G is aliased to fill after #1617) that sets bit and hachure patterns like so:

@JingHuiTong suggested during the AGU 2022 Fall Meeting that there could be a gallery example for this, showing how to create e.g. histogram bars with these fill patterns, to be placed under https://www.pygmt.org/v0.8.0/gallery/index.html#histograms

Extends #1156.

Are you willing to help implement and maintain this feature?

Maybe
