(core) Fix bar chart weirdness when x axis has redundant values

Summary:
Bar chart was a bit broken when there were redundant values on the X axis: the bars’s height maps to the sum of all the corresponding y values, when the data that shows up on hover is only the last one.

It seems that plotly does not support redundant values in the x axis and in all Plotly examples (implementation relies on plotly) x values only have unique values.

This diff, fixes by making sure x axis has unique values. If user actually wants to plot groups, they'll have to use a summary charts.

Test Plan: tested manually
