Description
In #6633 the inherit.aes behavior is exposed to the user, but the default is set to FALSE, which means that that layer is not in sync with most user-facing geom_* layers. I think setting this to NULL (so still exposing to user), and turning inheritance off if xintercept is non-null would feel more consistent when this geom_* family is used in a non-annotative way. Thoughts?

Research direction
Start by reviewing issue #6633 and the current inherit.aes behavior of geom_vline and related geoms. Compare the proposed NULL default with cases where xintercept is non-null, then seek agreement on the intended rule; done means the behavior is specified clearly enough to implement and verify.
