timeUnit step does not respect cross month bins

See original GitHub issue

See the following animated gif: timeunit_step With a new month it starts a new bin The first bin (not sure if it still called bins with timeUnit steps), goes from 31 dec to jan 3 and the 2nd bin jan 1 tot jan 4.

This leads to overlapping bins. I’m not sure if this is intended. The used spec (derivitated from https://vega.github.io/vega-lite/docs/timeunit.html#example-customizing-step)
