Drop commented draft quotes-drain-loop code/idea

Add `ChartPlotWidget._on_screen: bool` which allows detecting for the
first state where there is y-range-able flow data loaded and able to be
drawn. Check for this flag to be set in `.maxmin()` such that until the
historical data is loaded `.default_view()` will be called to ensure
that a blank view is never shown: race with the UI starting versus the
data layer loading flow graphics can have this outcome.
