Merge pull request #4230 from fperez/mpl-backends Switch correctly to the user's default matplotlib backend after inline. If '%matplotlib inline' was called first, we'd incorrectly revert to inline when plain '%matplotlib' was called, instead of loading the user's default GUI. If the user called '%matplotlib' first (without 'inline') it worked correctly, but not in the other order. The fix is to read the backend from the original defaults, not from the runtime data structure. Requires matplotlib 1.1

We fixed an issue with switching between matplotlib inline and GUI backends, but the fix requires matplotlib 1.1 or newer. So from now on, we consider matplotlib 1.1 to be the minimally supported version for IPython. Older versions for the most part will work, but we make no guarantees about it.
