Title: colormaps docstring update

This is an attempt at updating the colormaps docstring to include all the new colormaps and more information about where they came from and what they're supposed to do, some of which was in comments in _cm.py, but not otherwise visible to users. (https://gist.github.com/2719900)

Warning: I don't know if I did the rst formatting correctly, if the descriptions of colormaps are totally correct, if we should also mention that the "base" colormaps are copied from Matlab, or how to properly do forks and pull requests in GitHub. :)
