    Revert "Set axis background to transparent in inlinebackend"

    This reverts commit 902c754fcbd0581ea33912e583cd3ccb8bdb9a5b.

    Making axis transparent seem to confuse and annoy lot of people,

    See #7964 (do not fix it, this will be a 4.0 or 5.0 thing),
    the real fix would be to use matplotlib themes.
