Add the "githubUrl" support to the pbiviz generation

Use lodash modules instead of the kitchen sink

buildColumnTarget sometimes generates the incorrect column

Due to some PowerBI idiosyncrasies, sometimes the column and table that is generated can be incorrect.

Some of the actions that can cause the table or column to be incorrect includes: renaming columns and creating heirarchical columns, and using those with the visuals. (by renaming, I mean, you add a column to a visual, then on the visual's field pane, you rename it there, so it is only renamed for that visual).

The result of all of this, is that filtering does not work in those situations.

The self-signed cert is invalid in Chrome

Seems pbiviz also generates invalid certs according to Chrome, possibly Edge. We need to figure out why the old cert worked fine, but the new one generates errors. I think it is because it isn't a SAN certificate.

These are the extensions in the old cert:

        X509v3 extensions:
            X509v3 Key Usage: critical
                Digital Signature, Key Encipherment
            X509v3 Extended Key Usage:
                TLS Web Client Authentication, TLS Web Server Authentication
            X509v3 Subject Alternative Name:
                DNS:localhost
            X509v3 Subject Key Identifier:
                56:F2:59:2F:7C:BE:18:BF:95:E9:0A:3C:9C:75:38:F5:9D:89:13:4A

These are the extensions in the new cert:

        X509v3 extensions:
            X509v3 Subject Key Identifier:
                B7:60:6E:E5:72:CA:54:F4:B8:F2:A1:A0:76:76:41:F1:28:6D:2D:88
            X509v3 Authority Key Identifier:
                keyid:B7:60:6E:E5:72:CA:54:F4:B8:F2:A1:A0:76:76:41:F1:28:6D:2D:88
            X509v3 Basic Constraints:
                CA:TRUE

Filtering is broken on the Attribute Slicer due to filter serialization/deserialization occurs

Column target for filters is sometimes incorrect

Sometimes if a visual has been added to a dashboard, and the name of the table that the visual is bound to is renamed, the visual will not filter correctly.
