add setup_matplotlib function and switch to logarithmic bins

This commit contains the following small updates:

- create a setup_matplotlib() function to set up matplotlib correctly depending
  on if we are saving the plots or just displaying them
- change default font size to 12 when displaying plots
- switch to using logarithmic bins in plot-energy
- fix despine() function when x axis is logarithmic
