+Change artist associated with error bar in legend
+`````````````````````````````````````````````````
+
+Changed the order of the artist list returned by
+`legend_handler.HandlerErrorbar.create_artists` so that the artist
+associated with the legend marker in `legend.legendHandles` is the
+`Line2D` object for the markers not the `LineCollection` object for
+the error bars.
