Issue:
Use ordinal scale when using bin with row, column.  
Facets basically shouldn’t use linear scale.  

For example, this is currently broken
```
{
  "marktype": "text",
  "encoding": {
    "row": {
      "bin": true
      "name": "Horsepower",
      "type": "Q"
    },
    "color": {
      "name": "*",
      "type": "Q",
      "aggregate": "count"
    },
    "text": {
      "name": "*",
      "type": "Q",
      "aggregate": "count"
    }
  },
  "data": {
    "url": "data/cars.json"
  }
}

Pull request:
Use ordinal scale when using bin with row, column.
Fixes #697, Better fix for #719 

(Looks like @jpocom  needs this, so I fix it first although we’re in the mid of TS investigation)
