Camera improvement when moving to a rectangle which crosses the antimeridian

[michaelhayes-dev]

• Previously, if a user attempted to call camera.setView({ destination: rectangle }) or camera.flyTo({ destination: rectangle }) in the Cesium 2D View with a rectangle that crossed over the International Date Line, the camera would zoom out to show the entire map often making it difficult to see what the user intended the camera to zoom to.
• This has been resolved, and in the Cesium 2D View, flyTo and setView will now work as intended.

Re-ran the tests on my machine and I reproduced the same error Travis threw, but I also got that error on my unmodified master branch too. It appears to be an issue with some of the node_modules; I will investigate further this evening.
