By default, rasterize the lavalamp plot

Add the keyword argument raster=True for violinplots since they get so gigantic. kudos to @theandygross who pointed to http://www.astrobetter.com/blog/2014/01/17/slim-down-your-bloated-graphics/

• Is it mergable?
• Did it pass the tests?
• If it introduces new functionality in is it tested?
  Check for code coverage. To run code coverage on only the file you changed,
  for example flotilla/compute/splicing.py, use this command:
  py.test --cov flotilla/compute/splicing.py --cov-report term-missing flotilla/test/compute/test_splicing.py
  which will show you which lines aren't covered by the tests.
• Do the new functions have descriptive
  numpydoc
  style docstrings?
• If it adds a new feature, is it documented as an IPython Notebook in
  examples/, and is that notebook added to doc/tutorial.rst?
• If it adds a new plot, is it documented in the gallery, as a .py file
  in examples/?
• Is it well formatted? Look at the output of make lint.
• Is it documented in the doc/releases/?
• Was a spellchecker run on the source code and documentation after
  changes were made?

Wrote the relase notes in the wrong branch.. here they are as a clipboard:

Miscellaneous

• Rasterize lavalamp plot for visualizing many splicing events at once,
  otherwise the image is too big
