Simplify moving ticks-and-labels to top/right side

[anntzer]

Problem

Currently, there are separate methods for moving the ticks and the label of an xaxis to the top or of an yaxis to the right (xaxis.tick_top(); xaxis.set_label_position("right")). I would argue that moving them together is much more common than moving them separately, and warrants a simpler API.

Proposed Solution

Support xaxis.tick_and_label_top() or xaxis.tick_top(move_label=True) or some better API that I haven't thought of yet. Let's collect suggestions here as a start :)

Closing this as I don't really have the bandwidth to push for it, but @story645 you 👍'd so feel free to reopen if you want to champion this.

Thanks, but I think between spines and tick params and better docs this is way more straightforward than I remember it being
