Remove print_figure overrides in backend subclasses

QuLogic · QuLogic · commit 21e0a2e88b3a · 2023-04-17T23:34:59.000-04:00
AFAICT, `print_figure` is only called in `savefig`, and thus has no relation to backend drawing. We went through a lot of trouble to make `savefig` self-contained, so if this really had any effect, it would be a bug in it instead. But other backends don't do this override and seem to work fine, so these seem superfluous as well. After this change, just opening a window in Qt and using the save button did not seem to break anything, nor did running `savefig` with an interactive window open. I did not test Wx, but given the callers of `print_figure`, I don't see how it could be different. Fixes matplotlib#5234
