Description
```
yerr1 : string, optional
Field name to draw symmetric / negative errors from
```
Maybe better to say
```
yerr1 : string, optional
Field name to draw symmetric / negative errors from (but the values should be positive)
```
(and the holoviews error bar page too seems unclear http://holoviews.org/reference/elements/matplotlib/ErrorBars.html)
This will yield an incorrect plot:
```
tst = pd.DataFrame({'x': [0, 1, 2], 'y': [0, 0, 0], 'yerr1': [-1, -2, -3], 'yerr2': [1, 1, 1]})
tst.hvplot.errorbars('x', 'y', 'yerr1', 'yerr2')
```

This is correct
```
import pandas as pd
import hvplot.pandas
tst = pd.DataFrame({'x': [0, 1, 2], 'y': [0, 0, 0], 'yerr1': [1, 2, 3], 'yerr2': [1, 1, 1]})
tst.hvplot.errorbars('x', 'y', 'yerr1', 'yerr2')
```
