Bug summary

pyplot.quiverkey does not work correctly in polar plots.

Code for reproduction

import numpy as np
from matplotlib import pyplot as plt

fig, ax = plt.subplots(subplot_kw={"polar": True})

longitude = np.arange(0, 360, 10)
colatitude = 90 - np.ones_like(longitude) * 60

sample_x = np.ones_like(longitude)       # Northward
sample_y = np.zeros_like(longitude)      # Eastward

q = ax.quiver(np.radians(longitude), colatitude, sample_y, -sample_x, angles="xy")
ax.quiverkey(q, X=0, Y=0, U=5, label='5 units')

Actual outcome

Unknown

Expected outcome

The quiverkey should be a single line rather than a cartwheel.
