use QMainWindow.closeEvent for close events

The current code uses the QWidget.destroyed signal
to emit a close event into matplotlib. This is a very
bad idea, as it is a heavy abuse of Qt functionality.

When a main window is closed in Qt, it and its children
are deleted if the DeleteOnClose flag is set (which we
did set). This causes the QWidget.destroyed signal to be
called. Setting the DeleteOnClose flag is a very bad
idea, since objects should only be deleted by the
garbage collector. Soon after, PyQt4 will complain
that "the underlying C++ object has been deleted", since
the object is alive for python but dead for C++.

This patch changes the machinery to use the
QMainWindow.closeEvent to emit a close_event, which is
what one actually wants.
Make `rc_context` available via pyplot interface
make rc_context show up in pyplot's docs
BUG: Qt canvas didn't fire resize_event.

use Ada Lovelace's and Grace Hopper's images
do not convert None labels to 'None'
do not convert None labels to 'None' (now in container.py)
Legend: Also calc the bbox of the legend when the frame is not drawn. This fixes gh1586
removed the import new in favor of import types for all versions.

types is supported from 2.2 and new is deprecated as of 2.6.

This is the only place `import new` appears in the code.
added unit test for rcParam['legend.scatterpoints']

tweaked comments to no longer be a TODO
Fixes #1650 where using a file-like object on Python 3 fails.  Use npy_PyFile_* compatibility methods instead of rolling it ourselves.
