why no offline.iplot_mpl?

[arsenovic]

i just saw the new open-sourced plotly.js, and associate offline mode. i love this.

at first use i wondered why there was no offline.iplot_mpl() method?
https://github.com/plotly/plotly.py/blob/master/plotly/offline/offline.py#L60

could offline.iplot be changed to accept mpl figures? or if not, should offline.iplot_mpl be made with something like?

from .tools import mpl_to_plotly
def iplot_mpl(*args,**kw):
    iplot(mpl_to_plotly(*args,**kw))

Hey @arsenovic , I think we just haven't gotten around to it. It would be awesome to have offline mpl support, feel free to PR your solution if you have time.
