** DRAFT PULL REQUEST **

closes #13930

Implementing feature to set default spine positions (outward) for top, left, right and bottom using rcParams. Feature implementation involves the addition of four new rcParams:

  • axes.spines.left_outward
  • axes.spines.right_outward
  • axes.spines.bottom_outward
  • axes.spines.top_outward

Below is a screenshot showing the feature in action.

If we implement such an rcparam (I'm not judging on whether we should), it should definitely support "axes" and "data" positioning too, i.e. the API would likely be something like rcParams["axes.spines.left"] = ("axes", 0.5) (axes.spines.left: axes, 0.5 in the matplotlibrc file, I guess?).

Also to be checked: Is the position the only relevant parameter for spines so that "axes.spines.left" can take it directly? If not, we'd need to do "axes.spines.left.position" to keep other "axes.spines.left.*" configs possible.
