eradicate tk from hexrd.plotwrap

[ddale]

What does plotwrap do? There are comments expressing dissatisfaction with the use of the Tk backend, and the fact that pyplot relies on new_figure_manager. We should not be using pyplot at all, that api is intended only for scripting. For a GUI application such as hexrd, we should be using matplotlib's object-oriented api, there are several wx examples at https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/tree/master/examples/user_interfaces .

Nathan's old (predates the GUI) generic API for plotting. Included some fixes for cases with no display in older versions of Matplotlib. We've largely 'divested' from it, but it still has hooks here and there.
