axis.m: restore plotbox and data aspect ratios with 'axis normal' (bug #41581).
Use manual plotboxaspectratio for 'axis equal' for Matlab compatibility.

* axis.m: Use a manual plotboxaspectration of [5 4 4] for 'axis equal' for
Matlab compatibility.  For 'axis normal', first set an arbitrary
plotboxaspectratio and then set plotboxaspectratio and dataaspectratio to
"auto" such that a re-calculation is forced.
