Alpha parameter doesn't work in bar3d #9559

Description

Bug report

I have the same problem than on this Stackoverflow webpage :

Code for reproduction

from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

def main():
	plt.ion()
	rho = np.random.random((4,4))
	xpos = np.arange(0,4,1)
	ypos = np.arange(0,4,1)
	xpos, ypos = np.meshgrid(xpos, ypos)
	xpos = xpos.flatten()
	ypos = ypos.flatten()
	zpos = np.zeros(4*4)
	dx = 0.5 * np.ones_like(zpos)
	dy = dx.copy()
	dz = rho.flatten()
	alpha = 0.5
	fig = plt.figure()
	ax = fig.gca(projection='3d')
	ax.bar3d(xpos,ypos,zpos, dx, dy, dz, alpha=alpha, linewidth=0)
	plt.show()
	input("Press Enter to continue...")

if __name__ == '__main__':
	main()

Actual outcome

The bar on the plot are not transparent at all but they should be.
