Summary:
When building a storyboard, a tableViewController cannot be changed to a plain viewController even if the underlying custom class is changed. The storyboard editor always assumes the view controller is a tableViewController and won't let a UIView be attached as its main view.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a storyboard containing a tableViewController with a custom view controller class.
2. Change the custom class to be just a UIViewController subclass.
3. Observe that the storyboard still thinks the view controller is a tableViewController.
4. Edit the XML by hand to change <tableViewController> to <viewController>
5. Observe that the storyboard now works.

Expected Results:
The storyboard editor should be able to recognise step 2 and perform step 4 above automatically.

Actual Results:
You are forced to live like an Android developer and edit XML by hand.

Regression:
No.
