Description
### Expected behavior
Creating a timeseries based bar chart with only a single bar and setting the ticks source to `data` will result in two additional but undesired ticks (marked in red color) left and right to the single tick coming from the data itself:

The issue can be found in `_generate()` in this [commit](https://github.com/chartjs/Chart.js/commit/05608b0ceb13b49aec0fcefa4915c1e498fcb9ee#diff-f646705ee87e1da4be6cb4fca41e8322ba91e9db6f31ff76b2a868d9ff7f35e5). Here, `min` and `max` result in the additional ticks as they both have very small offset to the data itself (exactly 1 ms).
### Current behavior
See a sample here: [https://stackblitz.com/edit/js-vssd2m](https://stackblitz.com/edit/js-vssd2m). You'll immediately notice the effect:
1. The first chart shows a single bar with tree ticks.
2. The second chart shows two bars (or more) that no longer show the effect of undesired ticks.

### Possible solution
See the `_generate()` function. `min` and `max` show a slight offset hence the `timestamps` array is extended with the additional ticks.
