Describe the bug
I noticed that the output of mne.time_frequency.psd_welch looks slightly different between versions, example for a sine wave:

Steps to reproduce
Here is a minimum working example with simulated data:
import mne
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
# some simulated signal
frequency = 10
dt = 0.001
fs = 1 / dt
n_seconds = 10
time = np.arange(0, n_seconds, dt)
signal = np.cos(2 * np.pi * frequency * time)
info = mne.create_info(["signal1"], fs, ch_types="eeg")
raw = mne.io.RawArray(signal[np.newaxis], info)
# compute PSD
psd, freq = mne.time_frequency.psd_welch(raw, fmin=1, fmax=30, n_fft=4000)
# plot
fig, ax = plt.subplots()
ax.semilogy(freq, psd.T)
fig.show()
Expected results
I expected it to look the same between versions. Is this a desired change? I liked the old behavior. :-) Can it be achieved with the new version somehow? I checked the change log for 0.21 where optimization of psd_welch for long data segments is reported, which may have led to this?
Additional information
I tested various MNE versions and the change appears between 0.20.8 and 0.21.0 and persists to 0.21.2.
