Better visualization of multi-selects #766

In the last bar in the attached example, Nyati, Pongo, Digidigi are all clumped 
together as one item. Ideally, there should be an option for bar graph for each 
answer. 

I suppose the fundamental problem is that it's hard to analyze data in selects 
without them being broken into separate columns. One good work around might be 
document a way to do this in Excel

This looks like a bug in the visualization code. Should the first bar be split 
also:

- Muhanga
- Kima_kic...

??

Or perhaps this is displaying all the combinations that are present in the data?

Ugh. This is a mistake on my part. Although the data type is select1, the 
control widget was still select. I suppose that's the real bug. Anyway to catch 
that in Validate?

Yikes. That's a mistake.

Changing this to a Validate issue.  

Not sure what we can do there, but it would definitely be worth fixing.
