Make the wireframe slider fade opacity instead of chunks disappearing.

I really don't understand the point of having this slider that only makes wireframes disappear(what would anyone use it for ?), a better feature would be to make them fade or reduce their opacity slowly similar to the new feature "fade inactive geomtery' done by Dobarro.

Here is what i mean using the grid.

* @IIIFGIII * Thanks, I did search wireframe, fade, opacity..etc but nothing poped out for this particular feature, they must have been buried.

I noticed that with this wire opacity slider having been added to 2.92, they almost have back face culling for wire frames working like it's supposed to. If you enable back face culling, enable show face orientation and set the wireframe opacity to 0. In Object mode, you get the right effect where the back facing wire is invisible., but you can still see it from the front faces.

It still shows up in Edit mode though, so that's wrong, and the show back face option and wire opacity shouldn't be necessary, but it's close and seems like by accident.

* @Pascal 0 * There is no code-quest for all patch in review, so they can stay open until a long time until someone decide to integrate or reject it.
