Non-Planar Skin Layers

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** When slicing slopes with only a small deviation from horizontal (<10 degrees), it generates many steps on the slop **Describe the solution you'd like** I would like to have skin layers printed with a slope, like in the example below. **Describe alternatives you've considered** I did edit the gcode generated by Cura and add some sloped layers on the top, but this would be very tedious **Affected users and/or printers** Everyone **Additional context** Example results: ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/29034492/60722459-54d86000-9f74-11e9-95dd-9a443a2f09e5.png) Example GCode with sloped skin (Only tested on my delta printer. This will probable not work on a cartesian printer; I can upload another if you like) [slopedsurface.gcode.txt](https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/files/3362675/slopedsurface.gcode.txt)
