Fix setting axes default x/y/zlabel with string values (bug #34755)

* /libinterp/corefcn/graphics.cc (base_properties::set_from_list): when setting a string value, don't delete/recreate the text object, simply set its string property.
* /libinterp/corefcn/graphics.in.h (axes::axes): update_transform before setting default properties.
