Fix the doc of GraphicsContextBase.set_clip_rectangle.

anntzer · anntzer · commit e1cb9091d69a · 2020-11-23T00:47:19.000+01:00
The parameter is always a bbox, not a tuple, as shown by both all call
sites and the changelog for mpl 0.98.0 (before which it was a tuple).

Also shorten the doc for set_clip_path at the same time.
