Fix URLs in matplotlibrc.template (thanks, Sandro Tosi)
........

Rework the nan-handling/clipping/quantizing/simplification
framework so each is an independent part of a pipeline.
Expose the C++-implementation of all of this so it can be
used from all Python backends. Add rcParam
"path.simplify_threshold" to control the threshold of
similarity below which vertices will be removed.
