     applets/comic: enforce minimum FullViewWidget size

... may or may not have fixed the no-image case, but it definitely broke the image-there case in the same way it was intended to fix the no-image case -- loop-hung plasmashell.

The (looping) error when running plasmashell from konsole:

file:///share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.comic/contents/ui/FullViewWidget.qml:36:15: QML ScrollView: Possible anchor loop detected on fill.

(Yes that is an absolute path starting at /share/.  Reverse-usrmerge /usr -> . so it's obviously printing the symlink-resolved path .)

I have tiny comic thumbnails in a panel (small autohide), relying on the comic-popup button to display them at normal size, so I use the button daily.  With that commit applied when I try to do so I get a loop-hung plasmashell. =:^(

Fortunately I track the git logs and remembered seeing this commit in my pre-update read-thru.  Applying a reverting patch, rebuilding and restarting plasmashell quickly got my comics back working again, confirming  the culprit. =:^)
