Subject: [PATCH] Simplify GridSpec setup in make_axes_gridspec.

Currently, make_axes_gridspec uses two nested gridspecs, first a
horizontal (1, 2) gridspec and second a vertical (3, 1) gridspec to
position an axes A and the associated left-colorbar C as
```
A.
AC
A.
```
(and similarly for colorbars on other sides of the main axes).  Instead,
this can be done with a single (3, 2) gridspec to position both A and C.
