These just expose the low-level w/hpad and w/hspace controls available
in matplotlib's constrained_layout.

I think something funky might be going on with matplotlib's
constrained_layout. I've noticed a relatively annoying amount of padding
as the number of plots in the grid grow quite large. Though as is usual
with plotmpl.py, this may just be my own fault with the amount of hacks
being applied.
--w/hpad and --w/hspace provide a temporary workaround by overriding the
low-level padding controls in matplotlib's constrained_layout (--w/hpad
should probably be preferred, --w/hspace seems to be a legacy option).
Though, while a temporary solution, these are probably a good idea to
keep around for easy tweaking of plot padding.
