FIX: do not report that webagg supports blitting

tacaswell · tacaswell · commit 0c2ae15d4618 · 2021-03-24T11:54:09.000-04:00
We now implement the required underlying methods (copy_from_bbox and restore_region), but there are issues with the double buffering in nbagg, initialization issues, and with updates to the front end being dropped. For mpl3.4.0 over-ride the class property that checks for the required methods until we can fix the issues with blitting. Closes #19701
