Update d3.js data with button press

This is a follow on from the simple d3.js graph used as an example in the book D3 Tips and Tricks.

It demonstrates the loading of new data and updating a graph on a button press. It should be taken in context with the text of the book which can be downloaded for free from Leanpub.
