If axes zorders are tied, axes appearing later in figure.axes get
drawn above those appearing earlier, so events should be preferably
assigned to them. By default, max() returns the first maximum in case
of ties, so the previous implementation was not satisfactory.

Closes #9388.

Can we do max(reversed(axes_list), key=lambda x: x.zorder) instead?

I'd rather be explicit about the fact that order in axes_list does matter (at least I wouldn't have thought that the way max breaks ties is so important by skimming through the code).

@anntzer This is on a hot-path (created on every mouse move), it may be worth doing a micro-optimization here.

Apparently I'm not the only one who missed that subtlety (https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/7102/files). Fixing that...

fixed in a bunch of places and used a slightly overoptimized version :-)
