data_bars() column not updating when new data is set with reactable JS API  #58

Description

Hi,

When I use Reactable.setData() to update the content of a table via Javascript, columns that use data_bar() are not updated.

This is a short quarto example that demonstrates the issue. In the rendered document, when you click the button, it will update the "word" column of the table, while the "number" column doesn't change.

```{r}
library(tidyverse)
library(reactable)
library(reactablefmtr)
```

```{r}
df1 <-
  tibble(
    word = rep("one", 15),
    number = rep(1, 15)
  )

df2 <-
  tibble(
    word = rep("two", 15),
    number = rep(2, 15)
  )

ojs_define(data_json = jsonlite::toJSON(df2))
```

```{r}
reactable(df1,
          columns =
            list(number = colDef(cell = data_bars(df1))),
          elementId = "test_tbl")
```

```{ojs}
viewof clicks = Inputs.button("Click me")
data = JSON.parse(data_json)

{if(clicks > 0) Reactable.setData("test_tbl", data)}
```
