Description
This is what I'm seeing in one of our analyses:
Would be great if the head could be automatically placed such that it won't overlap with the traces – maybe even in a separate subplot?

Research direction
Start at the viz.plot_evoked() entry point and reproduce the overlap shown in the issue with spatial_colors=True. Determine the desired placement behavior, including whether a separate subplot is required; done means the head no longer overlaps the traces in the reported case.
