Bug report
Bug summary
For people who use numpy.datetime64() arrays with pcolormesh, a DeprecationWarning has been appearing prompting users to specify a shading kwarg 'nearest', 'auto' or 'gouraud' since shading='flat' is being deprecated. However, passing 'nearest' results in a UFuncTypeError when using 'nearest' due to a casting issue in _axes.py from _interp_grid()
Code for reproduction

A pcolormesh timeseries plot with random data and a np.datetime64() x-axis.
