Setting the plot backend should validate .plot immediately

[TomAugspurger]

Right now a pd.set_option('display.backend', name) will

1. look for an entrypoint
2. fall back to importing the module name and setting that to the backend

In the second case, the backend's implementation isn't validated until a plot is actually requested. We should validate that name.plot is a thing when the backend is set.

In [16]: module = types.ModuleType("foo")

In [17]: sys.modules['foo'] = module

In [18]: pd.set_option('plotting.backend', 'foo')

In [19]: df = pd.DataFrame({"A": [1, 2]})

In [20]: df.plot()

    797
    798     def line(self, x=None, y=None, **kwargs):

AttributeError: module 'foo' has no attribute 'plot'

Rather than raising an AttributeError on df.plot, we should raise a ValueError on pd.set_option('plotting.backend', 'foo').

Makes sense to me, but I think it's trickier than it looks. My first implementation had some validations when setting the backend, but iirc @jreback preference was to not import the module until a plot is called. I think because matplotlib needs to be loaded even if plot() is never used, unless some hacky things are done.
