Add an rc file setting for the pad parameter of tight_layout #5266
Description
Currently the parameter defaults to pad=1.08 with no way to change it from the rc file, for example when using figure.autolayout, which is then not so useful since the user has to call tight_layout anyway to set the padding.

Hello, Can I work on this?

I actually don't think that would be a good idea. Right now we are planning to redo how layout engines work, and adding new state to the rcParams file would make that harder in my opinion. See #19892

I’m guessing this is now redundant as we have constrained layout, which does take its default padding from rcParams. I also note that, as of #25395, use of tight layout is “mildly discouraged“.
