Move papersize="auto" deprecation to backend_bases.

anntzer · anntzer · commit 223e85a398e2 · 2023-09-29T12:03:35.000+02:00
This makes it easier for mplcairo (which also outputs PostScript
natively) to inherit the deprecation and be able to run the matplotlib
test suite both with matplotlib 3.7 (where there should be no warning)
and with matplotlib 3.8 (where there should be a warning).
