Export custom colormaps in readable formats

See original GitHub issue

I think it would be useful to have an export=bool command on plot.Colormap. Currently, save=True just saves it to ~/.proplot/cmaps as a json that seems to be readable to just proplot. It would be great to be able to export it as an xml, hex, etc. to then import into other tools and software.

You read my mind 😃 In #57, I’m implementing all colormaps as subclasses of the matplotlib.colors.Colormap class. The subclass will add a save() method that can take optional arguments for the save format, save location, etc. Then passing save=True to plot.Colormap() will just call cmap.save(), where the default cmap.save() behavior will be to save in ~/.proplot/cmaps.
