Remove citation entry from FAQ.

anntzer · anntzer · commit 4ac21c90b999 · 2019-02-07T22:18:37.000+01:00
The bibtex entry is different from the one in `citing.rst` and in
`matplotlib/__init__.rst`. `citing.rst` is already linked from the
homepage (or one can search "citing"/"citation" in the search box) so I
decided against keeping it in the FAQ.

While we're at it, fix the citation in citing.rst (it's not Hunter et al
-- jdh was the sole author).
