Tweak John's change to handling of rgba arrays

Try to improve the cursor readout and status message.
This could be done better with changes to the backends.
The status (pan/zoom etc) should be indicated via the
state of the buttons, e.g. using radio buttons, rather
than by printing text. The readout should be positioned
to minimize jumping around of the text.

added a properties method to the artist and inspector to return a dict mapping property name -> value; see sf feature request 2792183

added Neil's auto minor tick patch; sf patch #2789713

do not apply alpha to rgba color conversion if input is already rgba

Add set_color() convenience method to Spine class

Add set_color method to Patch, to match Collections

Spine is now derived from Patch

use cbook.is_string_like() instead of isinstance() for spines
