🔨 (etl) replace hideLegend with hideSeriesLabels

[sophiamersmann]

Important

Wait for PRs in owid-grapher to land before merging

Renames the chart config's hideLegend to hideSeriesLabels. Because this is a breaking change, the config schema version is bumped from 009 to 010.

For line charts, slope charts and stacked area charts, hideLegend is renamed to hideSeriesLabels. For all other chart types, hideLegend is dropped.

As far as I can see, all charts here that currently use the hideLegend are line charts, so I renamed them to hideSeriesLabels

The ETL unit tests are failing because there's no config schema yet at https://files.ourworldindata.org/schemas/grapher-schema.010.json. I guess, I'll wait for the owid-grapher PR to land, then run the test suite again?

I don't understand some of the differences reported by data-diff - seem to be unrelated.

Dropped without replacement because explorers never supported the hideLegend field (and I also didn't add support for the new hideSeriesLabels field).

It should be good based on docs I've created from the past version bump.
