PR Summary

As seen in #13042 it's a bit faster than cairocffi and it also takes 50 ms less
time to import here. Also the GTK3Cairo backend requires pycairo, so there is a
good chance it's already loaded anyway for that case.

PR Checklist

  • Has Pytest style unit tests
  • Code is Flake 8 compliant
  • New features are documented, with examples if plot related
  • Documentation is sphinx and numpydoc compliant
  • Added an entry to doc/users/next_whats_new/ if major new feature (follow instructions in README.rst there)
  • Documented in doc/api/api_changes.rst if API changed in a backward-incompatible way

(note that I'm a pycairo maintainer, so ymmv)

This should get a "whats new" entry.
