cartopy.gridlines bug (matplotlib 3.11+)

[emanuel-schmid]

see cartopy issue 268

(matplotlib issue 31926 got refused)

this lets several of the unit and integration tests fail

workaround: pin matplotlib to 3.10

[emanuel-schmid]

should be fixed with the next cartopy release : SciTools/cartopy#2667

Thanks for digging into this! I experienced the problem as well but did not find the associated issues. It's quite hard to debug.

Yes, apparently there is nothing else one can do.
