Description
When a user is changing the settings of a data set that has been plotted and clicks "plot" to see the results then the workspace should overwrite the previous workspace by default.
An option should be left in muon analysis so that the user can pick whether to make a new workspace or overwrite the old one when they re-plot the same data set with different options

More difficult than I first thought it would be. Currently asks the user to delete the plot that it is replacing. Need a way of closing down the plot before deleting the workspace. I can get rid of the graph on the plot but the window still remains.

Refs #4161. Have an option to overwrite plots.
Also, change 'plot options' tab to 'settings' tab. Fix still needed for dialog appearing asking user if they want to delete the previous plot when overwriting. Default will be changed to overwrite after this fix.

Overwrite option tested in settings. In addition also tested auto-update and auto-update+overwrite which passed good.
Only slight thing is that the plot is always replotted in top left. It would be better if replotted at the same position as last plot. The reason for this may be associated with the recent intro of floating windows, but I suggest, if you haven't already done this, to create a ticket for this for the next release

This ticket has been transferred to github issue 5008
When doing this ticket please change the tab name From "Plot options" to "Settings".
Call the text for boolean option for turning overwrite not owerwrite workspace something like "Auto update current plot"
Initial make this work for any changes made to the "Settings tab".
