Allow custom rc settings

[cvanelteren]

Hi there,

Am I correct in seeing that using pytest-mpl removes rc changes prior to plotting? We are trying to incorporate pytest-mpl in our packages (shameless plug), but found out that the image returns a default style rather than the curated style that we aim to reach. Is it possible to ensure that our changed context is used when comparing the images using pytest-mpl?
Thanks in advance!

In particular I am referring to potentially this line:

pytest-mpl/pytest_mpl/plugin.py

Line 730 in 29fd890

with plt.rc_context(rc=extra_rcparams):

, causing an issue

After browsing the source code I see that we can overwrite it with --mpl-default-style
