pcolormesh x-axis with datetime broken for nearest shading #18547

Description

Bug report

Bug summary

When using a datetime x-axis in a pcolormesh, and nearest shading,

TypeError: '>=' not supported between instances of 'datetime.timedelta' and 'int'

is raised.

From what I can tell, #18398 assumed comparison with 0 would always be possible, but this isn't the case for datetime.timedelta.

Code for reproduction

from datetime import datetime

from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

x_coords = [datetime.fromtimestamp(x * 3600) for x in range(24)]
y_coords = [*range(0, 10)]
plt.pcolormesh(x_coords,
               y_coords, [[*range(24)] for _ in range(10)],
               shading="nearest")

Actual outcome

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File ".local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/matplotlib/pyplot.py", line 2801, in pcolormesh

    X = _interp_grid(X)

    if not (np.all(dX >= 0) or np.all(dX <= 0)):
TypeError: '>=' not supported between instances of 'datetime.timedelta' and 'int'

Expected outcome

None
