Figure size limits are often given in millimeters (e.g., the Nature Reviews guidelines give a maximum of 180mm x 215mm); supporting them is cheap now that the machinery is already present, and removes a minor potential stumbling point.

Note: doc build fails because the tooling to handle next_whats_new was removed in preparation of 3.11 release and apparently not restored yet (so the whatsnew from this PR is dangling); I assume this will be fixed separately.
