Shared axes and ABC labels

A multi-panel layout with shared limits, shared labels, and automatic panel labels.

Why UltraPlot here?

UltraPlot shares limits and labels across a grid with a single share/span configuration, and adds panel letters automatically. This keeps complex layouts consistent without the manual axis management required in base Matplotlib.

Key functions: ultraplot.ui.subplots(), ultraplot.gridspec.SubplotGrid.format().
