fix: mplhep LHCb2 style conflicts with subplots_adjust(hspace=0)

[CrfzdPQM6]

I want two arrange two axes with no space between, like the last figure here. I have this:

import mplhep
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
#mplhep.style.use("LHCb2")

fig,axs = plt.subplots(2,2)
plt.subplots_adjust(hspace=0)
plt.show()

where you see I get what I want (vertically) unless I uncomment the mplhep.style... line, which seems to block the behaviour I want. Does anyone know how I can use the LHCb style and achieve this axis-compression?

Hey, sorry for the long silence, did you figure out how to do this? Or what exactly in the LHCb2 style causes this issue?

@jonas-eschle This is the offending line https://github.com/scikit-hep/mplhep/blob/main/src/mplhep/styles/lhcb.py#L36 I am not sure what exactly it achieves for the style.

Anyway @CrfzdPQM6 the fix, in case you haven't figured it out already is just to overwrite the param.

mplhep.style.use(["LHCb2", {"figure.autolayout": False}])

Hm,... so this should probably be the default, but not sure what else this will change. Maybe for the LHCb3, as long as we have the solution documented here. Or @CrfzdPQM6 do you have an opinion?
