[Bug]: add_collection3d does not update view limits #23317
Description
Bug summary
When creating a 3D plot using add_collection3d, the view limits are not automatically updated like in other plot functions.
Possibly related to #14298.
Code for reproduction
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import matplotlib.collections
import numpy as np
fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 1, figsize=(7, 4), constrained_layout=True, subplot_kw=dict(projection='3d', proj_type='ortho'))
xy = np.array([[(0, 0), (0.5, 100), (1, 0)]])
ax.add_collection3d(matplotlib.collections.LineCollection(xy))
# Manually update view limits
# ax.auto_scale_xyz(xy[..., 0], xy[..., 1], None, ax.has_data())
plt.show()Actual outcome
Expected outcome
Produced by uncommenting the line of code below # Manually update view limits.
Additional information
I'm using matplotlib 3.5.0, but the relevant code does not seem to call auto_scale_xyz like the other plot functions in the 3.5.2 branch or the main branch.

On further test this seems to also happen with
add_collectionof 2D plots and seems to be known to be broken judging from the documentation for matplotlib.axes.Axes.relim.Anyway, it is still best to make this consistent with the other plotting functions.

I guess it may be possible to iterate over the collection objects similar to
matplotlib/lib/matplotlib/axes/_base.py
Lines 2453 to 2460 in 4f5cacf
but there may be some obstacles (including being slow for large collections...).
