#5526.

They are already in the classic style, though I discovered a bug in them yesterday. boxplot.flierprops.linestyle was copied incorrectly from the old default in rcsetup.py. This causes tests to fail when you decrease the tolerance down to 0.

@phobson: Maybe you could make this change here as well?

@mdboom done! that explains why my result images in default boxplot style PR were so o_0

Ok, I've confirmed that #5523 depends on this to produce meaningful test images
