Validate assignments to rcParams-like dictionaries #69
Description
The rcParamsShort and rcParamsCustom dictionaries in rctools.py (used to power the rc_configurator) should have restricted keys and automatic entry validation, like rcParams. This can be done using the existing public matplotlib API and the RcParams class. It's a minor issue, maybe post-v1.

This change is ready to be added after the #91 merge
It probably does need to be included in v1 because otherwise incorrect entries in
.proplotrcor assignments toplot.rcare extremely difficult to debug. We can borrow the variousvalidate_*fucntions frommatplotlib/rcsetup.py, and might want to also design a new "units" validator (inches, centimeters, etc.) and refactor theunitsfunction to use this validator.lukelbd commentedon Jul 30, 2021
This should also pass assignments to
rc.cmapandrc.cyclethrough their respective constructor functions (see #169).lukelbd commentedon Aug 18, 2021
This is finally done 🎉 . All assignments are validated using an
rc_proplotdictionary analogous torc_matplotlib. Decided it would be better to just have a separate minimal validated dictionary for storing my own settings and continuing to useConfiguratorrather than trying to sync both of them into some giantRcParamsoverall.
