Rather than producing separate files for each module, the default build now
produces a single file. This should encourage better page-load performance as
the files were relatively small. Also, it's easier to deal with only one file
rather than many, especially if you're not quite sure what the dependencies are.
You may still create minimized builds, if you don't want every feature.
This commit also demotes the chart components to the examples directory, rather
than keeping them as part of the core library. As always, D3 is not a charting
library, and these were ever only intended to serve as examples.
There's now a new API for invoking the hierarchy layout (hierarchy.nodes) rather
than calling the layout function directly. Calling the new API enables inlining,
which is disabled by default for backwards-compatibility.
This way, we don't need symlinks (which don't work on Windows). This commit also
simplifies the structure of the flare.json file, so that we don't need to tricky
conversion of the JSON map—it can be read directly by the hierarchy layout.
