DH-16865: Partitioned table with no data displays a spinner indefinitely

[vbabich]

Steps to reprodude:

Run this snippet to create a partitioned table with no data:

from deephaven import empty_table
t = empty_table(0).update("X=ii").partition_by("X")

Expected:

• Table loads with no data rows

Actual:

• Table shows a spinner, doesn't load

Test it works if the table is ticking and a partition is added at least. This will load for around 20s until the first row ticks in

from deephaven import time_table
t2 = time_table("PT20S").update("X=ii").where("X>0").partition_by("X")

// We want to wait for the first UPDATED event instead of just getting viewport data here
// It's possible that the key table does not have any rows of data yet, so just wait until it does have one

We can show the empty table until the first key ticks in, in which case then we want to select that first key.

This is an issue in both Core+ and Legacy workers and is present in 1.20231218.219 as well.

Noticed the same behavior on a query that includes a where clause. However, the filter column used in where clause is not the partition column, behavior is the same in Legacy and Core+.

Adding empty where() to the end of the query works.

Adding the comment just to capture another use case.

Verified that my changes do not fix this issue, can still see the spinner. Attempted to tested changes proposed in #1953 , but running into a lot of errors (I would assume that surrounding code has changed quite a bit in the interim). Looking at how we can combine both solutions here.
