Switch from PNG to SVG output by default? #20

Description

@mgeier

The removal of the Matplotlib RC overrides in #14 by @fperez has given me hope to one day get good defaults for inline plots.

What about setting the default output format to SVG (instead of the current PNG)?

This would provide the correct plot size in notebooks and I guess it would also improve the perceived plot quality in most cases.

I've used SVG for years via local settings, but it would be great to have it as the default.

A possible objection would be that SVG plots can become quite large if there is a lot of data to plot, but I think in this case rasterization should be recommended.
