PR Summary

This PR adds support to manually edit the slider values in the subplot configuration tool via a TextBox.
(potentially a NumericTextBox)
This is a WIP, to mockup the desired behavior mentioned at #19257 (comment).

Behaviour:

To test it out, you can use any snippet:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt


def example_plot(ax, fontsize=12):
    ax.plot([1, 2])
    ax.set_xlabel('x-label', fontsize=fontsize)
    ax.set_ylabel('y-label', fontsize=fontsize)
    ax.set_title('Title', fontsize=fontsize)

fig, axis = plt.subplots()
example_plot(axis, fontsize=24)
plt.show()

A partial fix to #19257

@aitikgupta I've converted this to "draft". This signals reviewers that they don't yet have to look at it. When you think this is ready for a closer look (doesn't have to be 100% completed), you can click the "Ready for review" button. And of course, ping us whenever there is a question.

Closes #19257

We may have talked past eachother a little bit. In that issue I was proposing that this be a feature intrinsic to all sliders, not just the ones in the subplots adjust panel. So this may well be a valuable addition, but it shouldn't close that issue.

Of course if this was implemented for every slider then you would get it for free in the subplot panel.

That actually makes more sense! Ah, that's why you were talking about valtext property over that issue.
I will revamp this (good thing this PR is a draft)

Closing for lack of activity. Subplot configuration via GUI is anyway a quite rare use case.
