Allow setting of aspect ratio for Axes in rcParams - Draft PR #30017

I made a simple and basic implementation for this feature, before realising there was another draft request (#25642) open. Should I try to build off that Draft PR, or is my simple fix an ok starting point? |

I'm only +0.1 on this. There's low need for it. A fixed aspect can never be part of a style because it only works reasonably when you know your data is in a similar aspect. I concede though, that it may be helpful on helper functions for custom plot types.
This should be introduced together with axes.adjustable.
This needs a "what's new entry - https://matplotlib.org/devdocs/users/next_whats_new/README.html

I've done some basic testing of the new implementation and it seems good. Apart from more complete testing, and adding a "What's New Entry", is there anything else to change or improve on? |

Below is a screenshot showing the feature in action (before the last couple of recent upstream commits were merged into the branch):
