Dataframe view: deduplicate row with identical value #7068

The dataframe view has a lot of duplicated content, especially in time range mode (same entity for many timestamps, etc.).

deduplicate content of the time and/or entity path columns (ie. write the content only once
add stroke lines to make cell "merged" state more explicit
"stick" the cell value to the top of the table when scrolling

if we start with an entity on top -> most likely this behavior will not happen as often (only if smth was logged at the same time tick multiple times, which is not a majority of cases). Because normally there will be 1 row per a time tick. Hence this will be useful after enabling changing 'Entity as a row' VS 'Entity as a column'?
