Microsecond date formatter

[azjps]

When plotting time series after importing pandas, the default locator/formatter do not support microsecond resolution handling although it is available in matplotlib 1.3.0+. Besides backwards compatibility reasons, there might not be any reason anymore to keep around the PandasAutoDateLocator/PandasAutoDateFormatter classes, which were introduced in this commit.

See also my comment here and this related issue. An example of this is shown in this notebook.

Thanks for the suggestion but this issue hasn't gained a lot of interest or traction in many years so closing
