Fixes #62.

I think it’s proven pretty surprising that d3.utcDay.every(3) is not regularly spaced, so better to match d3.utcDay behave the way people expect, and have d3.utcMonthDay for the month-aligned day interval. Same goes for d3.timeDay, and now we don’t need the awkwardly named d3.unixDay (though I’ll keep it as a deprecated alias for backwards compatibility).

We also need to delete the README here and point to the new documentation on d3js.org, and update the documentation there… I’ll do that separately.

Broader discussion in #64, wherein I think we should consider changing the behavior of interval.every universally. The main wrinkle is d3.timeHour and daylight savings time… Also, arguably, the design of D3’s “multi-scale” tick format, but I think that becomes less important now that we have a better strategy for time axes in Observable Plot.
