x_labels/y_labelsand introduced date-specific tick generation/formatting helpers. - Updated tick rotation/alignment handling for the x-axis.
- Initialized grid line state during widget construction.

When all values of an axis are datetimes, then use the matplotlib concise date formatter for a nice date axis. This is a non-breaking change with regards to Sift (i.e. won't break anything without the pending PR in Sift, so can be merged first )
