matplotlib Code

Fix problem with polar grid lines by specifying the number of interpolation steps on a per-Path basis. This isn't really a public API -- it is intended for internal use only.

Experimental clipping of Line _transformed_path to speed zoom and pan.

This can be modified to work with x monotonically decreasing, but
for a first try it works only with x monotonically increasing.
The intention is to greatly speed up zooming and panning into
a small segment of a very long time series (e.g., 10^6 points)
without incurring any significant speed penalty in other situations.

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.

Fix buglet in path.py

Fix path simplification by a) making it more conservative about when it will simplify based on segment length, and b) honoring path.simplify rcParam in Agg backend.
