 *     is to be axis-referenced, this will be converted to an axis data value
 *
 * Also cleans the values, since the attribute definition itself has to say
 * valType: 'any' to handle date axes. This allows us to accept:
 * - for category axes: category names, and convert them here into serial numbers.
 *   Note that this will NOT work for axis range endpoints, because we don't know
 *   the category list yet (it's set by ax.makeCalcdata during calc)
 *   but it works for component (note, shape, images) positions.
 * - for date axes: JS Dates or milliseconds, and convert to date strings
