Lazy load matplotlib because importing it is slow and not core to using igrpah

Feature: import igraph faster. Important for startup time critical applications. Currently, on my system, igraph import takes about a second.

This should have no effect on matplotlib functionality.

I know #739 also wanted this for other reasons.
