Custom CSS-like boxmodel layout for D3.js

This custom layout for hierarchical data is inspired by the CSS box-model and adds margin and padding on all four sides of nested elements.

• Boxes are arranged horizontally in lines; if a maximum line width is exceeded, they flow into a new line.
• Padding is added inside, margins outside the boundary of boxes.
• Width and height of the boxes is defined by their combined child sizes (width/height plus margins) as well as the padding of the box itself.
• Empty boxes collapse to their padding, but you can also specify a minimal width and height for containers.
• Elements that are not intended as boxes must set the boolean isContainer to false and can have a fixed width and height.
