Description

This would draw datapoints from right to left, starting at the right end of the Plot. This would be useful for drawing continuously growing data sources that we basically need to show a tail -f of in Plot form.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the Plot widget's drawing logic in termui, specifically how datapoints are plotted. Implement a new option (e.g., `Plot.Reverse`) that flips the iteration direction when rendering points, starting from the rightmost index.
