[Rivet] Plotting defaults

[Frank Siegert]

Hi guys,

I have a couple of simple local changes in the plotting scripts,
which I would like to discuss as defaults:

1. compare-histos: Use experiment name in legend, i.e. "data" -> "CDF data"

Do you think some or all of those could become Rivet defaults? I believe
they would improve plot quality.

Cheers,
Frank

PS: This is completely independent of the 1.2.1 release.
