[Chart] layout1_plots ordinate types

[Tim Docker]

Hi Ben,

Yes. Depending on the value of layout1_yaxes_control, the value
associated with one axis may be duplicated on the other side. So
the types of the left and right axes need to be the same.

But, I think things would be a little cleaner and simpler, if
there were two different layouts:

     one which had a single y axis, and an enumeration to decide if
     the axis is to be shown on the left/right/both sides.

     one which had independent y axes with different types.

ie something like:

data Layout1 x y = Layout1 {
     layout1_plots_           :: [(Plot x y)],
     ...
}

data Layout1LR x y1 y2 = Layout1 {
     layout1lr_plots_           :: [Either (Plot x y1) (Plot x y2)],
     ...
}
