Included support for Plot border attributes at data series and data plot levels

FusionCharts Version 3.17.0 includes support for the following attributes at both data plot (single-series charts) and data-series (multi-series charts) levels:

• showPlotBorder (boolean) - this attribute is used to show or hide the plot border and it is configurable at the chart instance, data plot, and data-series levels. When defined at data plot or at series-data levels it overwrites the value at the chart instance level.
• plotBorderColor (string - inherit) - this attribute is used to specify the color for the plot border at the chart instance level. For data plot and data-series levels, users can use the inherit property as the value to be applied.

• plotBorderThickness (string/number) - this attribute is used to specify the thickness for the plot border at chart instance, data plot, and data-series levels.
• Alpha - controls the opacity for both the plot border as well as for the plot when defined. To define a different opacity for plot border set the plotBorderAlpha property with a different value.
