Description
the FigureWidget class has more features than the Figure class without any major downsides (that we know of?) - we should consider defaulting to using the widget. One thought is that we could default to using it if anywidget is already installed.

Research direction
Start by comparing the Figure and FigureWidget classes in notebook usage, then investigate how anywidget availability could affect the default. Define the supported environment behavior and compatibility expectations before identifying the relevant implementation and tests; done means the default is documented and verified without breaking existing Figure usage.
