Description
We currently state that the minimum supported versions of numpy, astropy and matplotlib are 1.5.1, 1.1.1 and 1.5.1 respectively. Now that version 2.x of astropy and matplotlib packages are easily available, on pypi and conda, it would seem to be a good time to move our minimum versions after we release v14.0. numpy is currently at v1.13.
As discussed in https://community.lsst.org/t/what-is-the-backward-compatiblity-requirement-on-astropy-and-matplotlib/2139 there are some features of these packages that would be useful, and it would allow us to remove the font cache hack we use in the build system to prevent race conditions.

I think these would require an update to numpy as well .. and if not, well, numpy should be updated as well too please.
