Title: Added fontsize= keyword argument to legend

This is just a minor addition to add a `fontsize=` keyword argument to the legend plotting. The lack of `fontsize` argument in the legend is often confusing to beginners, since other functions/methods provide this (xlabel/ylabel, title, clabel, etc.). This option is overridden if ``prop=`` is specified.
