[FEATURE]: Add Bottom-Up and Right-Left Sankey Diagram Option

[wf-r]

Summary

Sankey supports orientation: 'h' and 'v'. 'h' always runs left→right and 'v' always runs top-down, so there is no way to render a flow that builds up (sources at the bottom) or runs right→left. Both are common conventions and currently impossible.

Proposed change

Extend orientation with four explicit, direction-named values while keeping the existing values as synonyms:

• left-right — sources left, flow rightward (synonym of the legacy h)
• right-left — sources right, flow leftward (new)
• top-down — sources top, flow downward (synonym of the legacy v)
• bottom-up — sources bottom, flow upward (new)

h/v keep working; default stays h.

The vertical/horizontal layout is already produced by transposing the horizontal layout via a single group-level SVG transform in sankeyTransform(). The two new directions are mirrors of the existing ones, each expressible as one matrix + translate:

• right-left → matrix(-1 0 0 1 0 0), translateX += width (horizontal mirror of left-right)
• bottom-up → matrix(0 -1 1 0 0 0), translateY += height (vertical mirror of top-down)

Touched files:

• attributes.js — extend the orientation enum + description.
• render.js — adjust orientation flags, sankeyTransform and label flipText / text-anchor
• plot.js — adjust link-hover positioning

Backward compatibility

Existing figures using 'v'/'h' render identically; only additive enum values.

Thanks for the idea! If you'd like to work on a PR to add this, we'd be happy to help get it reviewed and merged. Also, would you please add example of a chart drawn like this? It will help me picture it.

Thanks, I will look into it (and while I am at it, I might as well add right-left)
