Consider allowing short-form property names

[mwaskom]

e.g., c -> color, lw -> linewidth, similar to matplotlib.

This would have to happen without the short forms appearing in (and overwhelming the signature). I would like to do some trick where the short form shows up in the parameter description through font modification, e.g. (edgewidth).

I am not 100% convinced that this is a good idea and it is not a blocker for initial release.

I suppose that if we add "alternate spellings" for parameter names, we could also accept "colour" and make the brits happy.
