Create MatrixWorkspace::plot_type property

[ktactac-ornl]

Description of work

To make MatrixWorkspace more flexible for plotting, a new property called
plot_type is introduced. This property will allow users to specify plot styles (like markers, scatter, histogram, or
error bars) directly on the workspace. Mantid’s EnumeratedStrings are used to make sure only
valid options are set. This setup will make plotting more consistent and user-friendly.
