Description: PR Summary Having separate and competing parameters tight_layout and constrained_layout is not a great API choice and can cause confusion (#17339). This PR addresses the problem by introducing a new parameter layout and suggests to use it instead. Since tight_layout has been around for ages and is used probably a lot, I dare not right away deprecate the parameters and force all users to adapt. Therefore, tight_layout and constrained_layout are only marked as "discouraged" for now. (We might deprecate eventually some versions down the road). This is somewhat cumbersome, but IMHO the best way forward. I put the "discouraged" concept in as a proposal. This adds a bit of overhead in the docs and code-wise, but gently paves the way for a better API. Feedback is welcome. If this gets accepted, there will be followup actions: Update all examples to use layout. Consider adding a new rcParams['figure.layout'] value to unify defaults as well. This needs a bit fiddling to get proper fallbacks to the existing defaults, but we should be able to make it work "as one would expect".
