 Axes legends now included in tight_bbox
 ---------------------------------------

 Legends created via ``ax.legend()`` can sometimes overspill the limits of
 the axis.  Tools like ``fig.tight_layout()`` and
 ``fig.savefig(bbox_inches='tight')`` would clip these legends.  A  change
 was made to include them in the ``tight`` calculations.
