    fix(deckgl): resolve Arc and Scatter chart legend visibility issues
    
    Fix three critical bugs that prevented legends from displaying correctly
    in deck.gl Arc and Scatter charts after upgrading to Superset 6.0:
    
    **Bug Fixes:**
    
    1. **addColor() default case**: Handle undefined/null color_scheme_type
       for backward compatibility. Pre-6.0 charts had undefined color_scheme_type
       but should continue working without user intervention.
    
    2. **Dimension control visibility**: Allow categorical dimension selection
       regardless of color scheme type. Users should be able to configure
       categorical data for legends even with fixed colors.
    
    3. **Integration test improvements**: Add comprehensive legend visibility
       and positioning tests using reliable DOM queries to ensure legends
       appear when expected and in correct quadrants.
    
    **Impact:**
    - Migrated charts from 5.x now work correctly without reconfiguration
    - New charts maintain better UX with improved defaults
    - Comprehensive test coverage prevents future regressions
    - All color scheme types (categorical_palette, fixed_color, undefined) work correctly
    
    **Testing:**
    - 30 unit tests verify core function logic
    - 11 integration tests verify complete legend workflows
    - Tests cover all positioning options (tl, tr, bl, br) and visibility scenarios
    
    Resolves legend visibility issues reported by users after 6.0 upgrade.
