Description
**What's your use case?**
Often Bar Plots have categories that are names. They are difficult to render along the _x_ axis, but will fit well along the _y_ axis (see attached chart from Excel).

**What's your proposed solution?**
It should be possible to add a checkbox to the Bar Plot to render the bars horizontally.
**Are there any alternative solutions?**
Contributor guide

Start by locating the Bar Plot widget and its rendering entry point in the Orange3 source, then inspect how its existing plot options are exposed. The issue's requested outcome is a checkbox that renders bars horizontally, including category names along the y axis; confirm the relevant widget behavior and tests before beginning.
