Sequential/Diverging defaults

See original GitHub issue

colorway is going to be a very useful parameter for the new Themes feature of Chart Studio, because by setting just that attribute and saving it in a template, one will be able to provide custom defaults for colors of new traces, plus pie charts.

I think it will be necessary to add the equivalent custom defaults for sequential and diverging colorscales (overriding the current built-in default white-to-red and blue-to-white-to-red that appear when you first try to color by data in the editor), such that a template can specify just these three to prepopulate the default colors in all three modes: categorical, sequential and diverging.

@archmoj these are just for defaults… you can definitely reverse the colorscale, there’s a different parameter for that 😃
