Re-executing a cell hides the figure when it is given a `num=...` argument

Nadie ha tomado este issue todavía.

## Describe the issue

Explicit figure numbers seem to cause a small glitch in `ipympl`. When the following cell is executed once, it shows the plot. When re-executing the cell, it disappears again.

```python
x = np.linspace(-np.pi/2, np.pi/2)
plt.figure(num=1)
plt.plot(x, np.sin(x))
```

I've attached a working example: [repeat_plot_issue.zip](https://github.com/matplotlib/ipympl/files/7705269/repeat_plot_issue.zip)

The `inline` and `notebook` backends do not have this issue, which leads me to believe this is a bug. There are two workarounds:

1. Close the figure in the beginning of the cell with e.g. `plt.close(1)`
2. Show the figure at the end of the cell with `plt.show()`

(I'm using Jupyter notebooks with a group of about 40 students, and they got confused by this difference in behavior between the backends. I understand this is not a major issue because there are simple workarounds. Still, for newcomers, it is an extra difficulty: "Help, my plot has disappeared!")

Start by running the attached repeat_plot_issue.zip example with the ipympl backend and compare it with the inline and notebook backends. Repeatedly executing the cell with plt.figure(num=1) should leave the figure visible without requiring plt.close(1) or plt.show().
