Description
There are two todos, but I do wonder if they could just be follow up issues/PRs (to #18575)
1. documentation for `anchor`/`panchor` could be improved. If @QuLogic is not following the meaning I don't think most people will.
2. changing the gridspec upper and left pads to match non-gridspec. Obviously those are there to avoid decorators, and the real solution is to use `constrained_layout`.
I *personally* think these can be separate PRs but lets leave for a few hours for @QuLogic to weigh in.

Research direction
Start by reading PR #18575 and the existing discussion around the `anchor` and `panchor` meanings. Then inspect how gridspec upper and left pads differ from non-gridspec behavior, including the stated relationship to `constrained_layout`. Done means the intended work is separated or scoped clearly, with documentation and positioning behavior updated as agreed.
