Make box separation in circuit_diagram_matplotlib always equal to one (QAE-869, QAE-870)

Victor Gervilla Palomarrequested to merge
time-circuit-diagram into main

Explanation of changes

Make the time interval between operations always equal to one. This removes time information from the circuit diagram and shows only the logic order of the gates

Before: Overlap2

After: Fixed2

Motivation of changes

circuit_diagram_matplotlib plots overlapping boxes when the time interval between operations is smaller than the duration of these operations. Closes issues #126 (closed) and #61 (closed)
