Description
In examples/examples/plot_minimal_pydeseq2_pipeline.py, we plot log-fold change versus mean expression using:
stat_res.plot_MA(s=20)
Currently, there is no easy way to adjust the xlim and ylim attributes of the figure displayed.
Similarly to what is done in Seaborn, what about passing an optional argument ax=None to plot_MA (and other plotting functions)? When ax is None, we let plot_MA create a figure and its axis. However, when Axes are passed to plot_MA, the method would use it for the scatter plot.

Research direction
Start with examples/examples/plot_minimal_pydeseq2_pipeline.py and trace the plot_MA entry point. Check how the figure and axis are currently created, then verify the requested behavior for an omitted axis and for a supplied Axes object, including user control of xlim and ylim. Done means the example can adjust those limits without losing the existing scatter plot.
