Improve the tutorial for Cartesian Histograms

We already have a good tutorial for Cartesian Histograms at https://www.pygmt.org/0.19.0/tutorials/advanced/cartesian_histograms.html, which was initially developed more than 3 years ago (#2445).

Here are some ideas to improve the tutorial:

The series parameter is one of the most important parameters that controls the histogram, but it's not explained well. The first subsection should focus on this parameter
Inspired by matplotlib's hist method's histype parameter, I feel we should have a subsection showing different histogram styles, by different combinations of fill/pen/stairs (xref: Figure.histogram: Migrate parameter 'stairs' to the new alias system #4884 (comment)). With this subsection, we could remove the existing "Stair-steps" subsection from the tutorial
Horizontal histograms are less commonly used, so it makes little sense to have "Vertical and horizontal bars" at the start of the tutorial
Maybe also add a subsection for adding the distribution curves
