Change normed to density in numpy and matplotlib histograms within LALInference
Description
The use of the argument normed=True
in histograms from matplotlib and numpy is deprecated since a few versions ago in either package. This leads to warnings like
/home/soichiro.morisaki/local/gwcelery_envs/gwcelery_lalsuite659/lib/python3.6/site-packages/lalinference/bayespputils.py:3987: MatplotlibDeprecationWarning:
The 'normed' kwarg was deprecated in Matplotlib 2.1 and will be removed in 3.1. Use ‘density’ instead.

but it's easily fixed by switching to density=True
for all these instances.
