After MantidTable gets replaced, all the columns in the updated view become Y-columns

[Arturs Bekasovs]

As we are unable to set column plot types using Python API at the present moment, the only way to reproduce it I've came up with is using the MuonAnalysis interface (where it was noticed in the first place):

1. In MuonAnalysis, load any data set.
2. On Data Analysis tab, fit it to something.
3. On Results Table tab, select a few log values and create a table. Notice that column plot types should be set properly, i.e. log values to X or Label, fit parameters to Y and errors to YErr.
4. Now try to create the table again, replacing the previous one. Notice that now all the columns have the type Y.

I guess it's not a Muon specific thing, it's just that it's the only way I've came up with to reproduce it.

Refs #9056. Return the behaviour changed in #8774.

If tables are not cleared before filling, we get problems.

Refs #9056. Move column type setting to fill function.

Otherwise column types are set on creating the table and not on when it gets updated.

Tester:

Make sure the problem is fixed. Column types should be set properly when the table is both created and updated.

It does correctly configure the labels and allows removing entries as well.
