Chart: Not able to use multiple bar types (DataSeries::TYPE_BARCHART) in a single chart.

- [ ] a feature request
- [ ] **not** a usage question (ask them on https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/phpspreadsheet or https://gitter.im/PHPOffice/PhpSpreadsheet)

What is the expected behavior?

To create a chart inside Excel with multiple 'column' bar plot types.

What is the current behavior?

Now if you have more than one 'column' bar plot types the chart is missing without any errors.

What are the steps to reproduce?

Add two bar types to the same chart, for example like this:

$series1 = new DataSeries(
DataSeries::TYPE_BARCHART, // plotType - first time
DataSeries::GROUPING_CLUSTERED, // plotGrouping
range(0, count($dataSeriesValues1) - 1), // plotOrder
$dataSeriesLabels1, // plotLabel
$xAxisTickValues, // plotCategory
$dataSeriesValues1 // plotValues
);
...
$series2 = new DataSeries(
DataSeries::TYPE_BARCHART, // plotType - bar again
DataSeries::GROUPING_CLUSTERED, // plotGrouping
range(0, count($dataSeriesValues2) - 1), // plotOrder
$dataSeriesLabels2, // plotLabel
$xAxisTickValues, // plotCategory
$dataSeriesValues2 // plotValues
);

This leads to a blank chart. If you add 'line' type instead (DataSeries::TYPE_LINECHART) it will work. You can have multiple 'line' types (DataSeries::TYPE_LINECHART) in the same chart but you cannot have more than one bar (DataSeries::TYPE_BARCHART).
