correctly construct Attributes in get_axis

[hexaeder]

Description

Fixes MakieOrg/GraphMakie.jl#142

During get_axis, the Attributes for the plot recipe are constructed in a "wrong" way, in which nested attributes do not work as expected. I.e. named tuples in the Attributes become Observable{Any} instead of nested Attributes objects.

Was introduced in Makie@0.19.11 as part of #3275

MWE:

using Makie
@recipe(MyPlot, p) do scene
   Attributes(
       nt = (;)
   )
end
function Makie.plot!(mp::MyPlot)
    p = mp[:p]
    @show mp[:not] # see how it looks like in the recipe
    scatter!(mp, p)
end

julia> fig, a, p = myplot(rand(10); nt=(;named=:tuple))
mp[:nt] = Observable{Any}((named = :tuple,)) # "warmup" run
mp[:nt] = Attributes with 1 entry:           # actual run
  named => tuple

Not sure if the splat of the dict is the best way to solve this, suggestions welcome. On a different note: it might be nice to pass another attribute, such as _warmup=true to the recipe. GraphMakie could skip the (possibly expensive) layout algorithm in the warmup run...

Oh, that's an annoying corner case...
Also, those constructors should be equivalent, but guess they aren't -.-

We'll remove the whole proxy_scene business in #3113, so no need for a hacky workaround ;)

Well alternatively, one could define an outer constructor

Attributes(d::Dict) = Attributes(Dict{Symbol, Observable}(node_pairs(d)))

to MakieCore/src/attributes.jl, such that the conversion happens explicitly pairwise instead of implicitly in the default inner constructor of Attributes.

Edit: just added the alternative PR.
