PR summary

Closes #32053
This commit makes set_dpi() update _original_dpi first, then calculates the effective DPI as:
requested DPI × device-pixel ratio
That preserves the user’s DPI choice through pickle round-trips, still behaves correctly on HiDPI displays, and makes savefig(dpi="figure") use the explicitly set DPI.
It also routes SubFigure.set_dpi() through the parent figure’s public setter, so SubFigures follow the same behavior.

Tested normal and HiDPI cases.

[Bug]: Pickle round-tripping a figure incorrectly restores its original DPI instead of a DPI explicitly changed via Figure.set_dpi().
