gnu: python-matplotlib: Patch dlopen so MPLBACKEND is not overridden.
Fixes <https://issues.guix.gnu.org/70687>.
In Python, importing 'matplotlib.pyplot' sets the backend used by Matplotlib
to Agg unless it was set to WebAgg or nbAgg. This is because it incorrectly
determines that no event loop can be started due to a failed dlopen call for
'libX11.so.6'. This is fixed by patching the dlopen path.
* gnu/packages/python-xyz.scm (python-matplotlib) [arguments]
<#:phases>: Add 'patch-dlopen.
