Problem

When introducing new rcParams for specific aspects that were previously covered by other rcParams, e.g. #8071 and #22566 it can be useful to be able to keep the "link" to the previous rcParam.

Proposed solution

rcParams can be set to another rcParam and get the value from that.

    IMHO we don’t need any particular infrastructure for this.

    You basically only need to support None and do a chained lookup until you find the first not None value. See #29481 for an example.
