Remove warnings and improve colorbar gallery example (#596)

* Remove warning about Axis sub-item a/f set more than once
* First round of improving colorbar gallery example
* Wrap colorbar docstring to 79 characters
* Use x+l instead of +L for colorbar label and fix typos

 Colorbar
 --------
 
-The :meth:`pygmt.Figure.colorbar` method creates a color scalebar. We must specify the
-colormap via the ``cmap`` argument, and set the placement via the ``position`` argument.
-The full list of color paletted tables can be found at :gmt-docs:`cookbook/cpts.html`.
-You can set the `position` of the colorbar using the following options:
-
-- j/J: justified inside/outside the mapframe using any 2 character combination of
-  vertical (**T** op, **M** iddle, **B** ottom) and horizontal (**L** eft, **C** enter,
-  **R** ight) alignment codes, e.g. `position="jTR"` for top right.
-- g: using map coordinates, e.g. `position="g170/-45"` for longitude 170E, latitude 45S.
-- x: using paper coordinates, e.g. `position="x5c/7c"` for 5cm,7cm from anchor point.

 - n: using normalized (0-1) coordinates, e.g. `position="n0.4/0.8"`.
 
-Note that the anchor point defaults to the bottom left (BL). Append +h to ``position``
-to get a horizontal colorbar instead of a vertical one. For more advanced styling
-options, see the full option list at :gmt-docs:`colorbar.html`.
