Remove Howto: Plot numpy.datetime64 values

timhoffm · timhoffm · commit ad16a2c55ab8 · 2021-04-07T23:23:16.000+02:00
This is not worth mentioning anymore. `numpy.datetime64` work as
expected out of the box. The additional pandas converters comment is
off-topic. Overall, I don't think we need to mention them at all.
Third party packages are welcome to provide custom converters, but
that's none of Matplotlibs business.

-Plot `numpy.datetime64` values
-------------------------------
-
-As of Matplotlib 2.2, `numpy.datetime64` objects are handled the same way
-as `datetime.datetime` objects.
-
-If you prefer the pandas converters and locators, you can register them.  This
-is done automatically when calling a pandas plot function and may be
-unnecessary when using pandas instead of Matplotlib directly. ::
