Set time series x-axis limits explicitly

The auto-scaling algorithm for axis limits has changed between matplotlib-1.5.3 and matplotlib-3.0.0 such that time series are (often) now plotted with gaps between the plotted values and the axes left and right sides (example attached).

To get the time series to fill the axes horizontally it seems to now be necessary to use Axes.set_xlim(), for example:

ax.set_xlim(plot_data.hrdps_dir.time.values[0], plot_data.hrdps_dir.time.values[-1])

Affected figure modules:

• comparison/sandheads_winds.py FIXED
• comparison/compare_venus_ctd.py FIXED
• publish/compare_tide_prediction_max_ssh.py FIXED
• fvcom/second_narrows_current.py FIXED

Also rotate right y-axis label, and change x-axis date tick labels format.
