Proplot changes names of colormaps to lowercase, breaking matplotlib.pyplot.get_cmap

[scottstanie]

Description

The names of available colormaps change after running import proplot. This makes it harder to insert proplot into existing scripts which contain other plots.

Steps to reproduce

In [1]: import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
In [3]: plt.get_cmap('RdBu')
Out[3]: <matplotlib.colors.LinearSegmentedColormap at 0x12745cbe0>

In [4]: import proplot as pplt
In [6]: plt.get_cmap('RdBu')

Expected behavior: The matplotlib get_cmap was expected to work the same before and after importing proplot.

Equivalent steps in matplotlib

Example contains the matplotlib version.
Note that using lowercase before importing proplot errors, so one can't change all cmap names to lowercase.

Proplot version

In [2]: import matplotlib; print(matplotlib.__version__)
3.4.3

In [5]: pplt.__version__
Out[5]: '0.9.7'
