Relates to #25823.
Backward fill is useful in many data preprocessing tasks where missing values need to be filled with
the next available data point.
Examples
--------
>>> a = np.array([None, 2])
>>> a.bfill(axis=0)
>>> a
array([2, 2])
>>> a = np.array([[None, 2], [1, 1]])
>>> a.bfill(axis=1)
>>> a
array([[1, 2], [1, 1]])
>>> a = np.array([[None, 2], [1, 1]])
>>> a.bfill()
>>> a
array([[2, 2], [1, 1]])
