[bug] Overriding rankdir using tweaks does not work with dev build

[alialsheikh]

For some reason, after installing the dev version, output rankdir has changed from LR to TB and is stuck that way. With v0.4 I cannot find a .dv file and so had to resort to using tweaks. The below works on v0.32 but does not work well on v0.4.

tweak:
  override:
    graph:
      rankdir: 'LR'

Any idea why? I need to use v0.4 due to the connector-to-connector support, but now my entire output is destroyed. Not presentable. Below are two screenshots for comparison.

With v0.32

With v0.4

This seems to be a duplicate of #258 that was fixed by PR #261 and then merged into master in v0.3.2, but not currently included in dev, latest, or any of the PR branches. If you need this fix together with such a branch, then I suggest you create your own local branch from the dev or PR branch and cherry-pick the fix 9af0cb8 on top of it.

The same issue has also been reported in #277, #280, #299, and #312.

I cherry-picked the fix for this issue into dev yesterday (see #316 (comment) for details) and when the PR branches get rebased on top of dev again, then they also will contain it.

@alialsheikh - if you are able to use the updated dev code and verify that your reported problem is solved, then I suggest closing this issue. If you depend on some PR branch not yet updated, then describe that here and also in that PR to ask for a rebase.
