Non-time axis tick-generation broken when reusing plots

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Non-time axes (i.e. the default "base 10 behavior") assign a function to 
axis.tickGenerator which uses axis.tickSize to generate ticks. But nothing 
recalculates axis.tickSize or assigns a new function to axis.tickGenerator when 
new data is loaded and the plot redrawn. This causes way to many ticks to be 
drawn when a plot is reused to render data with a greater delta (axis.max - 
axis.min).  See attached screenshots.

A proposed fix is at https://github.com/flot/flot/pull/76

This is what the second screenshot above looks like with the fixed code.  Note 
that to get the 2nd screenshot, I load the graph with the default window of 
"now minus 2 hours" to "now", and then click "1 wk" which loads data for "now 
minus 1 week" to "now" and puts it into the existing plot and redraws it.
