3D set_aspect(aspect='equal') works

Bug report

Bug summary

The matplotlib set_aspect(aspect='equal') command for 3D plots works perfectly well after the lines 1279:1282 in …\site_packages\matplotlib\axes_base.py (matplotlib 3.1.1) are commented out. With it, the plot maintains the 3D aspect ratio despite window resizing. This is the desired behavior for 3D plots where the axes aspect is important and was the behavior in matplotlib 3.0.3. NB: set_aspect does not establish the axes ratios; that must be done via calls to set_xlim3d(), set_ylim3d(), and set_zlim3d(). Perhaps the documentation for set_aspect should be modified to reflect its usage.
