Bug: When setting "editable:true" after initialization, items that were added previously are not editable #662

If you initialize a timeline with no options, and then use setOptions({editable:true}), any items that were created on initialization are not editable (cannot be moved or deleted). If the timeline is initialized with editable:true then all items are editable.

Reproducible example, based on the example in the README with only the last line added by me:

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
  <title>Timeline</title>
  <script type="text/javascript" src="https://unpkg.com/vis-timeline@latest/standalone/umd/vis-timeline-graph2d.min.js"></script>
  <link href="https://unpkg.com/vis-timeline@latest/styles/vis-timeline-graph2d.min.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
  <style type="text/css">
    #visualization {
      width: 600px;
      height: 400px;
      border: 1px solid lightgray;
    }
  </style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="visualization"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
  // DOM element where the Timeline will be attached
  var container = document.getElementById('visualization');

  // Create a DataSet (allows two way data-binding)
  var items = new vis.DataSet([
    {id: 1, content: 'item 1', start: '2014-04-20'},
    {id: 2, content: 'item 2', start: '2014-04-14'},
    {id: 3, content: 'item 3', start: '2014-04-18'},
    {id: 4, content: 'item 4', start: '2014-04-16', end: '2014-04-19'},
    {id: 5, content: 'item 5', start: '2014-04-25'},
    {id: 6, content: 'item 6', start: '2014-04-27', type: 'point'}
  ]);

  // Configuration for the Timeline
  var options = {};

  // Create a Timeline
  var timeline = new vis.Timeline(container, items, options);
  
  timeline.setOptions({editable:true})  
</script>
</body>
</html>

This has been previously reported and remained open in both almende/vis#3852 and yotamberk/timeline-plus#99
