Bug summary
plt.scatter() raises upon drawing when called with marker='' (no errors with 3.3.0).
This change of behavior broke seaborn.
Code for reproduction
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.scatter([], [], marker='') # fails also with plt.scatter([1,2,3], [1,2,3], marker='')
plt.show()Actual outcome
