axisartist now uses more standard tick direction controls#
Previously, the position of axisartist ticks (inside or outside
the axes) were set using set_tick_out(bool). They are now set
using set_tick_direction("in") (or "out", or "inout"), and respect
rcParams["xtick.direction"] (default: 'out') and rcParams["ytick.direction"] (default: 'out'). In particular, they default
to pointing outwards, consistently with the rest of the library.
The tick_out parameter of Ticks has been deprecated (use tick_direction
instead). The Ticks.get_tick_out method is deprecated (use
Ticks.get_tick_direction instead).
The unused locs_angles_labels attribute of Ticks and LabelBase has
also been deprecated.
