Non-default color_cycle not working in Pie plot

[rubennj]

Changing the default color_cycle works in other charts but not in pie.

import matplotlib as mpl
import matplotlib.pylab as plt

mpl.rcParams['axes.color_cycle'] = ['c', 'm', 'y', 'k']

fig, ax = plt.subplots()

ax.pie([15, 30, 45, 10])

New colors can be used only changing the colors parameter of pie.

Versions: MPL 1.4.3 - Python 3.4.1 - Windows

Yes, the "color cycle" in the pie() function was a quick-n-dirty kludge,
IIRC. The function hard-codes the cycle and doesn't use the internal cycle.
It shouldn't be too difficult to get it hooked up to the new property
cycling feature I am working on right now.

I'm remilestoning this as 2.0. Since we're changing the default color cycle for 2.0, we should definitely fix the hard-coded one in pie.

This is fixed by #5674.
