Inline example plots in docs

[ivirshup]

Meta-issue for tracking the addition of rendered plots in the examples sections of the API docs (initial functionality implemented in #1632).

We now allow code samples which generate plots in our docs. See the examples sections of calculate_qc_metrics and dotplot for examples of what this looks like. There is a short section in the dev docs with more information on how to make these: Plots in docstring

Here is a checklist of the functions which should have rendered examples. This list is not exclusive and can definitely be expanded.
