DOC: Fix label type specification in parameter descriptions

- add missing "or list of str" in hist() docstring
- Use "optional" instead of "default: None"

  See https://matplotlib.org/devdocs/devel/document.html

  > If None is only used as a sentinel value for "parameter not specified",
  > do not document it as the default. Depending on the context, give the
  > actual default, or mark the parameter as optional if not specifying has
  > no particular effect.
