Title: BUG: fix handling of color argument for variety of plotting functions

parallel_coordinates
- fix reordering of class column (from set) causing possible color/class
mismatch
- deprecated use of argument colors in favor of color

radviz
- fix reordering of class column (from set) causing possible color/class
mismatch
- added explicit color keyword argument (avoids multiple values 'color' being
passed to plotting method)

andrews_curves
- added explicit color keyword argument (avoids multiple values 'color' being
passed to plotting method)

To recreate the bug:

```python

import pandas as pd
from pandas.tools.plotting import parallel_coordinates, radviz, andrews_curves

x = pd.DataFrame([[1,2,3,'b'],
[2,2,1,'g'],
[3,3,1,'r']], columns=[0,1,2,'name'])

parallel_coordinates(x, 'name', colors=['b','g','r'])

# TypeError from scatter
radviz(x, 'name', color=['b','g','r'])

# TypeError from plot
andrews_curves(x, 'name', color=['b','g','r'])

```
