Standardize the use of GMT built-in CPT names in PyGMT examples #4308

Description

@seisman

In PyGMT documentation, GMT built-in CPTs are often specified using shorthand names, for example, cmap="lisbon". However, the canonical GMT syntax for built-in CPTs is the full section/cpt form, e.g., cmap="SCM/lisbon". While the shorthand works, the full form can avoid name clashes and improve recognition of the color maps as well as their authors.

At present, most PyGMT examples use shorthand CPT names, whereas the manuscript consistently uses the full-form names.

Therefore, I propose standardizing on the full section/cpt syntax for all GMT built-in CPTs across all PyGMT examples, tutorials, and documentation.
