[Doc]: Stackplot hatch functionality has version dependencies #28533
Description
Documentation Link
https://matplotlib.org/stable/api/_as_gen/matplotlib.pyplot.stackplot.html
Problem
The documentation for matplotlib.pyplot.stackplot() should indicate that matplotlib version 3.9.x or greater supports hatch being a list. In version 3.8.3 I was getting errors when passing a list of hatch symbols, regardless of the simplicity or complexity of the example.
If it's easier I can revisit this once I complete the body of work where this became an issue and I can submit a PR to update the documentation myself, just let me know.

Sorry about missing that in review, yes if you don't mind adding a version added directive that'd be great!

Also the documented type is wrong:
It should be
and include in the explanation that a single str applies the same hatch to all datasets.
