A chart linked to a PivotTable: series are built from the report
(innermost row items x column items/value fields, totals excluded) and
rebuilt on every refresh or layout change; c:pivotSource round trip;
chart series accept union references.

A line chart from numeric X values (years) plotted them as a series and
there was no way to set the axis labels. Now:
- a blank top-left cell over a header row makes the first column the
category labels even when it holds numbers (the usual convention);
- chart.selectData takes categories (Horizontal (Category) Axis Labels,
"" clears) and removeSeries, and range is optional;
- Chart Design gets a Select Data button opening a Select Data Source
dialog: chart data range, legend entries with Remove, axis labels.

The ribbon button inserted a column chart straight away. It now opens an
Insert Chart dialog: a Recommended tab (insert.chartRecommendations, a
heuristic over the data's shape: series, points, labels, negatives) and an
All Charts tab, each with a live preview of the chart for the selection.
OK inserts the chosen type and selects the chart.
insert.recommendedCharts stays dialog-free for programmatic calls: without
a type it inserts the first recommendation; type/subtype pick one.
insert_chart is split into build_chart (also used for previews).

The corner drag now grabs the chart where the press began and the selected object's corner shows a resize cursor. The Format Chart Area Size fields, chart and axis title fields and the Table Name field reloaded their value from the workbook every frame, so typed or dragged edits were thrown away; they now keep a draft until the field loses focus (Escape cancels, like sheet tab rename).
