Update matplotlib 1.1.0 to 2.0.2 in morty

Hello guys,

I am using (quite aging) morty branch of this repository. There is matplotlib version 1.1.0 which does not compile correctly. To workaround this problem I cherry-pick commit 10c8c39 every time I checkout the repository. Would you consider to include this commit in morty?

Thank you in advance!

morty is dead, I will leave this upto @akuster to decide if he is ok with it

dead and major version upgrades are usually rejected even for stable branches which are still activelly maintained. Why don't you put matplotlib_2.0.2.bb in some meta-backport-from-2017 layer if you cannot easily upgrade from morty release to something still supported?

I was considering to do that, but first I wanted to try share my modifications with other developers. I will add this modification to my custom layer as you propose.

Thank you.
