Deprecate plot_date

Correctly set temporary pdf/pgf backends

Calling `FigureCanvasPdf(figure)` will call `figure.set_canvas(self)`,
meaning the `cbook._setattr_cm` context manager that wraps this change
will see the _new_ canvas, and the old canvas isn't restored.

Instead, just pass the `backend` parameter, as `savefig` already knows
how to correctly save and restore the canvas if it needs to change
backends.

Fixes matplotlib#27865

Update lib/matplotlib/tests/test_axes.py

BLD,Cygwin: Included Python.h first in src/_c_internal_utils.cpp

Python.h needs to be included before any system includes.  This is easiest if it is the first include.  Interestingly, pybind11/pybind11.h does not include Python, possibly depending on downstream projects including Python.h beforehand.

CI: Include Python.h first in _tkagg.cpp

Needs to be included before system headers to set visibility macros for pybind11

BLD: Include Python.h first in _backend_agg.cpp

BLD: Include Python.h before pybind11/pybind11.h

pybind11 assumes Python.h is included first.

CI: Specify python version for default pytest.

CI,Cygwin: Run pytest with python -m pytest

Cygwin pytest recently updated, and only installs pytest-3.9

CI,Cygwin: Revert use of alternatives to set pytest script.

Cygwin pytest only installs pytest-3.9.
I should possibly suggest using alternatives for that and pip.

CI,Cygwin: Avoid running pytest in root directory.

CI,Cygwin: Revert running pytest in different directory.

CI,Cygwin: Call pytest-3.9 explicitly.

BLD: Include Python.h first in src/_path.h

BLD,BUG: Remove Python.h includes immediately preceeding pybind11/pybind11.h includes

pybind11 seems decent about including Python.h before any system headers, once you chase three layers of includes in to see that.

FIX: handle nans in RGBA input with ScalarMappables

BLD: Add a fallback URL for FreeType

FreeType is available from both Savannah and SourceForge, and sometimes
AppVeyor seems to have trouble downloading from Savannah, so perhaps
this fallback will help. We used to try both these URLs in the pre-Meson
build system.

DOC: State approximate documentation build time

Since the doc build takes very long, an order-of-magnitude estimate
is helpful to manage expectations.

I'm not wedded to the actual numbers, if somebody has better
suggestions. A quick test on an old i7 6700 (from 2015) yielded

- `O=-j1`: 23min
- `O=-j4`: 15min

Doc build on CI is around 18min.

DOC: fix :mpltype:`color` role

`inline.interpreted()` already returns a list of nodes. We mustn't wrap
