ENH: basic Z-plot widget

[YektaY]

Description

A basic Z-plot widget.

The Z-plot widget is to plot data along a physical dimension of a facility (at SLAC the z-dimension of the accelerator) and provide a dynamic symbolic diagram of the facility corresponding to the given data points.

The idea here is that this basic Z-plot widget could serve as a base template z-plot widget. It provides a basic plotting widget, which could be used on it's own, but lacks more convenient methods for gathering data and corresponding symbols for the plot.

Question:

This is a draft PR because documentation is still being written at the moment. In the mean time I wanted to see if this would be something which would be a good fit for PyDM. If it is a good fit, are there any additional features or changes which could enhance this basic z-plot widget?

Motivation and Context

SLAC had a need for a z-plot to plot PVs along the accelerator. Offering up this stripped down version as a base z-plot widget in case other users of PyDM may have need for a similar widget.

How Has This Been Tested?

Tested on an example Gui.

Where Has This Been Documented?

documentation is still being worked on.
