This fixes #1427 and #1678

• Time series shading data should be correctly applied by 3D shade calculator for Detailed PV with up to 4 subarrays and 8 strings, and for PVWatts.

• PVWatts shading data window should not show labels for strings/number of strings, and should not automatically select shading database option when time series data is imported or pasted.

File for testing: 3d-shade-test.zip

To Test:

1. Open .sam test file.
2. For each case, open 3D shade calculator and click Save and Close and then click Yes to apply shading data.
3. Click Edit shading to verify that shade data is applied to time series beam shading table and diffuse.
4. For PVWatts note overlapping labels are gone.
