(core) Replace nulls in X-axis of charts with '-' to avoid confusion with missing points

Browse Source 
Summary:
Seem in a customer doc where Y-scale was wrong for unclear reasons. The cause
is that null-valued X labels cause the corresponding bar (or point) to be
omitted, but still affect the Y-scale. In this diff, such labels are replaced
with "-", so as to show up normally.

Trivial example that reproduces the problem here:

Test Plan: Tested manually.
