BUG: epoch2num matplotlib deprecation warning
- [x] I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

- [x] I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

- [x] (optional) I have confirmed this bug exists on the master branch of pandas.

---

#### Problem description
Using the current matplotlib master branch, pandas raises the following deprecation warning:
```
/Users/dstansby/miniconda3/envs/dev/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pandas/plotting/_matplotlib/converter.py:256: MatplotlibDeprecationWarning: 
The epoch2num function was deprecated in Matplotlib 3.3 and will be removed two minor releases later.
```
It looks like this line is present on pandas master, so should probably be changed (I'm not sure how) to avoid raising this deprecation warning.

#### Expected Output

#### Output of ``pd.show_versions()``
