metadata for `categorical_cols` should be determined by user specification

The methods used to generate the metafeatures are currently calculating which columns are categorical by examining the data. For example, if file that contains some strings in a column, that field should show up in _categorical_cols. However, if a file is uploaded that has only integers in a column it would not show up in _categorical_cols, even if it were specified to be a categorical by the user.

Update metadata that so that _categorical_cols uses the uses the columns specified by the user instead of the calculation.

Note that this only effects how data is encoded when calculating metafeatures. When running experiments, user preferences are honored.
