Fix rcParams validator for dashes.

anntzer · anntzer · commit 3f9e75e7532e · 2020-05-18T21:00:43.000+02:00
Valid dash-patterns are actually just lists of floats:
```
rcParams["lines.dashed_pattern"] = (1, None)
plt.plot([1, 2], ls="--")
```
throws
```
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'float' and 'NoneType'
```
