+Split `matplotlib.cbook.ls_mapper` in two
+`````````````````````````````````````````
+
+The `matplotlib.cbook.ls_mapper` dictionary is split into two now to
+distinguish between qualified linestyle used by backends and
+unqualified ones. `ls_mapper` now maps from the short symbols
+(e.g. `"--"`) to qualified names (`"solid"`). The new ls_mapper_r is
+the reversed mapping.
