Minor Locator no longer try to avoid overstriking major Locators
````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````

Previously, certain locator classes (`LogLocator`, `AutoMinorLocator`)
contained custom logic to avoid emitting tick locations that collided with
major ticks when they were used as minor locators.

This logic has now moved to the Axis class; thus, for example,
``xaxis.minor.locator()`` now includes positions that collide with
``xaxis.major.locator()``, but ``xaxis.get_minorticklocs()`` does not.

why not pass the major_locs here, if we don't want to do it in the locator? Agree that its an API change, but I suspect a minor one; this method is not used elsewhere, except in the tests...

Because if anything I think the main API change here is that one cannot call axis.minor.locator() to get the minor tick locations. The main API to do that is now axis.get_minorticklocs(); making it axis.get_minorticklocs(major_locs=axis.get_majorticklocs()) seems a bit of a pain (Also, what about axis.get_ticklocs(minor=True)? Would you now have to pass the major_locs kwarg to get_ticklocs() but only if minor=True? Looks a bit awkward.).

minor_locs = self.minor.locator()

aren't we now calling both locators twice? Seems inefficient to me.

Yes (per the above).
Frankly, would not worry as I doubt it's anywhere close to being a bottleneck, but we could factor out get_minorticklocs to a private helper that takes majorlocs as parameter if this is really an issue...

OK, actually I'm confused - why are we calling the locator at all here? Do we not cache the existing tick locations in some way? Sorry if I'm being dumb.

I... don't think so? Note that the previous implementation also called the locator.
Obviously we could inspect what are the current tick positions, but I don't know if there's any invalidation mechanism in place right now (e.g. what happens when you pan/zoom?).
IOW, this uses the same structure as before the PR; having get_{major,minor}ticklocs handle cache invalidation could be future work ( :) ).

transform = self._scale.get_transform()
tr_minor_locs = transform.transform(minor_locs)
tr_major_locs = transform.transform(major_locs)
lo, hi = sorted(transform.transform(self.get_view_interval()))
# Use the transformed view limits as scale. 1e-5 is the default rtol
# for np.isclose.
tol = (hi - lo) * 1e-5

"transformed view limits" means this is now in axes coordinates, right? If so, this is the right thing to do.

It's some linear transform away from axes coordinates, so the relative check is equivalent to being done in axes coordinates.

minor_locs = [
loc for loc, tr_loc in zip(minor_locs, tr_minor_locs)
if not np.isclose(tr_loc, tr_major_locs, atol=tol, rtol=0).any()]
return minor_locs
