Document hiding orientation axes across PyVista subplots

Adds an example to the BasePlotter.hide_axes_all docstring showing how to hide axes orientation widgets across a two-panel plot. The example uses built-in meshes and requires no external data.

The problem

The hide_axes_all docstring described its behavior but lacked a usage example. This left the method without a concrete demonstration of hiding orientation widgets across multiple renderers, a gap covered by the missing plotting API examples issue.

The approach

Create a Plotter with shape=(1, 2), placing a Cube in the first subplot and a Sphere in the second. Call show_axes_all() followed by hide_axes_all() to demonstrate the all-renderer operation, then close the plotter.

What changed

The method's docstring now includes a self-contained two-panel example. The implementation remains unchanged and still calls hide_axes() on each renderer.
