In lockedata/ibmsunburst: Generate Personality Insights Sunburst Diagrams

Kent Russel added some documentation of the changes that he made to the source sunburst-chart. The dist version of the library points to the d3v3 version, which also pollutes the global namespace with d3. This means that we will likely conflict with other htmlwidgets that use other versions of d3.

To resolve, he made commits

1. https://github.com/timelyportfolio/sunburst-chart/commit/4b1ef692bce528ffbde8ab6e9ddb9e3b69882e96 - use d3v4 version
2. https://github.com/timelyportfolio/sunburst-chart/commit/8aa4f377a9770ad778372e2a529a3e93a89177f4 - RStudio Viewer will be updated but as of now requires es5 JavaScript since it is a very outdated. Change .babelrc to target es5 and transpile Object.assign.
3. https://github.com/timelyportfolio/sunburst-chart/commit/97a5c130281fce73fff9f72f425a1f3c0025e1c9 - babel the dist version which we use in htmlwidgets/lib

These steps ended up being quite straightforward and minimal but took a little longer than Kent Russel expected. If we encouter again with an update of the source library, this should be quick and easy.
