Capitalization of None in matplotlibrc
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In :file:`matplotlibrc` config files every capitalization of None was
accepted for denoting the Python constant `None`. This is deprecated. The
only accepted capitalization is now None, i.e. starting with a capital letter
and all other letters in lowercase.
