Make legend appearance consistent with chart elements

- Use the default value for each element type if a property is not set
- Stroke after fill to move borders to the front
- Support property arrays
- Use point's colors and border width when usePointStyle is true
- Disable line styles when usePointStyle is true or the dataset type is not 'line' or 'radar'
- Fix the existing tests and add more tests
