Title: Update documentation regarding lines.color

Add a comment to the matplotlibrc template file to alleviate confusion
regarding the use of lines.color for plots. axes.color_cycle should be
used to change the colour of plotted lines.

The Axes.plot docstring has also been update to include this
information.

This addresses #822.
