MNT: Updating Colorbar zoom rectangle and selections

Setting the zoom selector rectangle to the vertical/horizontal
limits of the colorbar, depending on the orientation.

Remove some mappable types from colorbar navigation. Certain mappables,
like categoricals and contours shouldn't be mapped by default due to
the limits of an axis carrying certain meaning. So, turn that off
for now and potentially revisit in the future.
