Title: implement path_effects for Line2D objects

This patch implements path_effects for Line2D objects.

Here is a related request on the mailing list

http://www.mail-archive.com/matplotlib-users@lists.sourceforge.net/msg22954.html

The current change modifies the Line2D class to take a single path_effects argument. However, there are two paths involved with a single Line2D instance.

* a path for the line
* a path for the marker edge & face

And currently, same path_effects is applied to both paths.
I'm not sure if there is a need to apply separate path_effects for those two.
We may need an optional argument (e.g., marker_path_effects).
