better palette IMO - fixes #827. Still not super happy, the palettes I found didn't work with all colors with the text in white (was it a reason to use white as the text?)

Take a look at colorbrewer for some nice pre-canned color schemes.

That's what this patch contains, some selected colors from colorbrewer.

Another breaking change but a good idea IMO. The default colors we have been using may be optimally distinguishable, but unsightly, and as Xavier points out in #827, too consecutive.

We've deprecated schemeCategory20c in dc.js 3.0, and added dc.config.defaultColors as a way to provide a consistent set of ordinal colors for all charts. d3-scale-chromatic provides some good palettes, and we'll move to one of those in 3.1
