feat: Complete matplotlib plotting system.

The Viz node now detects the shape of the data, and presents compatible
plot options.
Not all are implemented, but a few quite important ones are.

Additionally, a number of dataflow-related bugs were investigated and
fixed. A few were truly damaging, but many simply resulted in gross
inefficiencies - we must be careful declaring BLFields that are updated
in hot loops!

Moreover, it is exceptionally easy to add more as needed, as we analyze
more and more sims.
The only limit is `matplotlib`, which is... well, yeah.

Due to the BLField work, the dynamicness of the Viz node is quite
under control, so there will not be any critical issues there.

The plotting lags (70ms total in the hot loop), but that's actually
entirely fixeable.
It's also entirely the `managed_bl_image`'s fault.
Fixing these inefficiencies will also make Tidy3D's builtin plots
near-realtime, incidentally.

We profiled the following currently:
- 25ms: Creating `fig = plt.subplots`. We can reuse fig per-managed
  image.
- 43ms: The BytesIO roundtrip, including `savefig`. We can instead use
  the Agg backend, `fig.canvas.draw()`, and a `np.frombuffer` to both
  plot directly to the memory location,
- ~3ms: Actual plotting functions in `image_ops`. They are seriously fast.
- ~0ms: Blitting pixels to the Blender image - this was optimized in
  4.1, and it shows; the time to copy the data over is essentially nothing.
