axes.color_cycle deprecated in matplotlib 2.2.0

[cdabella]

axes.color_cycle has been deprecated to be replaced by axes.prop_cycle. Fix required in both matplotlibrc and bmh_matplotlibrc.json for continued compatibility.

Found a potentially relevant answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4971269/how-to-pick-a-new-color-for-each-plotted-line-within-a-figure-in-matplotlib/39522128#39522128

# cycler is a separate package extracted matplotlib.
from cycler import cycler
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

plt.rc('axes', prop_cycle=(cycler('color', ['r', 'g', 'b'])))
plt.plot([1, 2])
plt.plot([2, 3])
plt.plot([3, 4])
plt.plot([4, 5])
plt.plot([5, 6])
plt.show()

Will report back if it works.
