Graticule layers improvements, for openlayers and printing
Description
The current implementation of the graticule layer has some limitations:
- only supports lat - lon grids
- does not support labels
- cannot be printed
We would like to:
- support metric grids, at least for mercator (EPSG:3857) and UTM projections (we won't implement full UTM grids (https://www.dmap.co.uk/utmworld.htm), for simplicity we will assume a regular grid, without the irregular zones (e.g. 31, 32, etc.)
- add optional labels for x and y lines, with configurable styling
- add printing support
The openlayers Graticule layer only supports lat - lon grids, so we will need to either:
- extend / override it with a MapStore implementation
- use another library (e.g. https://github.com/Viglino/ol-ext)

Other useful information
@tdipisa this is not included by default as a panel in default print. Is a separate plug-in, available but not included in the build. Should we include? I don't know if makes sense to make the print plugin to complex for the user as it's default implementation for testing.
Let's enable it @offtherailz for testing in master and test scenario definition (fyi @ElenaGallo).
We should include it as a panel, instead of plugin, to avoid to reconfigure all the projects depending. This requires a small work on client. Same for the other task
@tdipisa I can not test the PrintGraticule plugin on MS because it is not present in the plugins.js file and the plugin is not present on the Plugin doc.
