Use illuminant D for the majority of temperatures

D65, the natural whitepoint that wlsunset assumes, is defined on
illuminant D, which simulates daylight with atmospheric effects.
However, we used planckian locus for all values under 6500 K, which
meant that there was a significant jump in color - specifically, a
sudden reduction in green and blue - as we started reducing the color
temperature.

Instead, we purely use illuminant D down to 4000 K where it is well
defined. Below 4000 K, illuminant D starts unintentionally approaching
the planckian locus, before finally breaking completely at 2000 K. We
extend the boundary of illuminant D to 2500 K and perform a
sine-smoothed transition to planckian locus from 4000 K to 2500 K to
extend the range of wlsunset down to 1667 K, where planckian locus ends
and we finally give up.

The end-result is a smooth transition along all valid temperature
values, with no sudden jumps as we had before. However, we do end up
with slightly greener/bluer colors than earlier. We'll have to see how
that holds up.
