Add an option to support grid line width updates

Allow users to update line widths of grids to Grid Controls. Sometimes grid lines can be hard to see against aerial imagery.

Hi @Brian_McLeer, thanks for posting your idea here. Do the color and theme properties work for your use case? If not, could you explain how a width property would work better?

Hello @Noah-Sager and @bbollin, thank you for the quick response. Updating colors/theme can work in some cases. However in the image below when you have varying symbology on top of a raster basemap, the thinner lines can become muted even though the color is a bright orange. Allowing users to adjust overall thickness of gridlines would allow more contrast against content with high degrees of color. I would like to point the larger gridlines are not hard to see, but the smaller sized grids can be hard to see.
