I have a recipe that used to run fine with Makie 0.15. In the current Makie version (0.21) it renders as 2D unless I pass the keyword argument `axis=(type=Makie.Axis3,)`. How can I make 3D rendering the default?

```julia
Makie.preferred_axis_type(::YourRecipe) = LScene
# Or depending on the argumens:
Makie.args_preferred_axis(::YourRecipe, args::YourTypes...) = ...

```
