Seperate styling options for major/minor and x/y axis grid line in rcParams
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Using :rc:`grid.major.*` or :rc:`grid.minor.*` will overwrite the value in
:rc:`grid.*` for the major and minor gridlines, respectively. Similarly,
specifying :rc:`grid.xaxis.major.*` and :rc:`grid.yaxis.major.*` will overwrite
`grid.major.*` for x and y axis major gridlines respectively.
