Add loading state and debugging for comparison chart

Added better UX and debugging for the comparison screen:

1. Loading state for chart section
   - Shows "Loading comparison data..." when schools are selected
     but data hasn't loaded yet
   - Provides visual feedback to users

2. Enhanced debugging logs
   - Log URNs being fetched
   - Log API response status
   - Log received comparison data
   - Better error handling with null state on failure

3. Improved conditional rendering
   - Chart shows when data is available
   - Loading message shows when waiting for data
   - Nothing shows when no schools selected

This helps diagnose any API issues and provides better user feedback
during data loading.
