Column types on a MantidTable

Description

A follow on from #4634.

By default, a qtiplot table is created with the first column labelled as [X] and subsequent columns as [Y]. Probably for a MantidTable we should just set all columns to 'no type' unless the TableWorkspace contains a specific setting (or is of a specific type such as text). In this case, setting it from the 'top' (e.g. GenericFit) should be unnecessary.

Other points:

  • At the moment, the 'plottype' within the workspace is lost on saving and loading the project. I.e. display the table workspace from a fit again and the column is back to [X] not [L].
  • Overloading the Table::setColPlotDesignation(int, unsigned int) method with one that takes (int, int) is odd and unnecessary.

I disagree that everything should be notype, but you should be able to change the column type when displaying the tableworkspace.
