Here's a shot at removing any checks for, or use of, ~/.matplotlib under linux. Motivated by discussion in issue #6885. Mainly just got rid of the check in init.py and some docstring stuff there. Also took a crack at updating the environment variable FAQ since it made reference to this stuff. Passed same tests as matplotlib/matplotlib/master did when running matplotlib.test().

@tacaswell mentioned having this for 2.1 but I'm not sure how to target a particular release. I'd be happy to try again if there's a way to do that explicitly on my end.

@tacaswell tacaswell added this to the 2.1 (next point release) milestone Sep 28, 2016

Can you rebase to remove the merge from upstream master into your feature branch?

Otherwise looks good.

The master branch will be the 2.1 release so this is the correct place to open the pull request.

subdirectory is created.
defined, :file:`{HOME}/.config/matplotlib` is generally used on unix-like
systems and :file:`{HOME}/.matplotlib` is used on other platforms, if they are
writable. Otherwise, the python standard library :func:`tempfile.gettmpdir`

I gave the rebase a try. It looks like I got it right. Also squashed that typo.
