In a hidpi machine, the inline plots of jupyter via PyPlot.jl are blurry.

Previously, I usually use the `PyPlot.svg(true)` option. However, this will slow down the browser considerably if the plot is really large.

I noticed in a jupyter python session, one can do `%config InlineBackend.figure_format = 'retina'` to fix this issue. However, since `%config` is not supported by IJulia, how can I set the figure\_format option?
