Nomalization factor in kdeplot

See original GitHub issue

I know this feature has been suggested before as part of #479. My use case is however a bit different.

I suggest to put a normalization factor in the kdeplot function. When looking at a subset of data, I would like to scale the KDE to normalize to the fraction of included data. Now you get something like the figure below, where blue is the total data set and green/orange are two subsets of my data. If we could include a normalization parameter, we can match the KDE’s of the subsets to the KDE of the total set.

This is actually a duplicate of a very old issue: #61

No, it is an entirely different issue. That issue is about setting the Axis limits.
