Clipping: don't assume that x-values have uniform spacing

Do not assume that x-values have uniform spacing -- this can cause problems especially with large datasets and non-uniform spacing (e.g., time-dependent readings from an instrument).

Use `np.searchsorted` instead to find the first and last data index in the view range. This only assumes that x-values are in ascending order. This prevents potentially too strong clipping.
