[BUG] aspect_ratio in conflict with xlims for PGFPlotsX

[jywu20]

Details

When aspect_ratio and xlims are used together, the former will be ignored by the PGFPlotsX backend.

using Plots
pgfplotsx()

let xs = 1:0.1:10
    plot(xs, xs.^2, xlims = (0, 10), aspect_ratio = :equal)
end

gives

which is the same as the case without aspect_ratio = :equal.

The problem doesn't exist with GR backend.

I realized this is a duplicate of #4766. The problem can be worked around by exactly the same way mentioned there.
