Image reports 2.0: Remove legend sorting and introduce legend items toggle on/off

[Stevan Radaković]

Disable legend sorting (it was introduced so user can 'bring out' chart lines in front of each other, but it's confusing).
Instead, make legend clickable where user can turn on or off each item in the legend (do this by graying out the turned off items).

My use case usually has me disable a chart line because it has an insane value that make the other lines illegible, so the chart would need to re scale.

Mike, is this something that allowing the chart designer to specify Y-min
and Y-max values would address?

Adjusting Y axis's will help that use case as well, but even without the
crazy values, the need to unclutter the plot quickly is still very worth
while.

The current reordering behavior introduces another problem for me, I have
multiple plots on a page and the order/colors of the lines between plots
easily gets messed up and you don't realize that the red line no longer
correlates.

I assume the new scheme will maintain the order so that the "red" line if
visible will be the top item always when the legend is drawn.

i.e

I have Arndale and KS data for min,max,average, that is three plots each
with both boards on them. On all of the plots Arndale will always be first
then KS because they always sort alphabetically.
When I gray them out there is no reordering, the legend goes gray for that
board and the line disappears on the plot, the plot re scales.
