Please do not set the backend #35

Downstream packages should not unilaterally set the backend. Please remove the lines

https://github.com/sbebo/joypy/blob/8ea22141ceb453004655020913cb245874370299/joypy/joyplot.py#L7-L8

such that users can select their backend themselves.

Note that on windows os.environ.get('DISPLAY','') == '' is True even if a normal display is set, so basically one cannot use joypy interactively on windows due to that line in the code.
