rename/deprecate bbox kwarg/property on Text #4990

Closed as not planned

Description

@tacaswell

As discussed in #4942 (comment) the 'bbox' kwarg/property is confusing. Most places in mpl 'bbox' means 'the bounding box that the artists falls with in' where as in this case it is properties to go with a background patch behind the text artist.

    I am +1 on rename (through a deprecation cycle). But this could probably be
    immediately addressed by simple docstring.
