multi_line does not work with categorical plots

ALL software version info (bokeh, python, notebook, OS, browser, any other relevant packages)

Testing with Python 2.7.14 and bokeh==0.12.13.

Description of expected behavior and the observed behavior

multi_line stopped working with categorical plots.

Complete, minimal, self-contained example code that reproduces the issue

    x_range = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd']
    y_values = [1., 2., 3., 4.]
    y_errors = [.1, .2, .3, .4]


    plot = figure(x_range=x_range)
    plot.square(x_range, y_values, size=7, line_alpha=0)

    err_xs = []
    err_ys = []

    for x, y, yerr in zip(x_range, y_values, y_errors):
        err_xs.append((x, x))
        err_ys.append((y - yerr, y + yerr))

    # Option A: Does not work
    # plot.multi_line(err_xs, err_ys)

    # Option B: works!
    for i in xrange(len(err_xs)):
        plot.line(err_xs[i], err_ys[i])

From the other issue:

The issues seems to be that set_data in the patches view is calling v_synthetic on the entire array of arrays, but I'm pretty sure it needs to loop over the outer array and call v_synthetic on the subarrays instead.
