Enhancing our GDP plot

The United Nations loved your previous plot - the legend really stands out and makes it easier to view the plot.

However, there are some interesting data points that are not easy to further analyze due to the limited information in the plot.

Your task is to enhance the plot of life_gdp created in the last exercise to include more information in the hover and style it as requested.

Some of the code will be familiar from earlier in the chapter.
