How can I modify the following example so that all sticky nodes are released when a button is pressed? I've seen this implemented for nodes to be released (unstuck) with a doubleclick (here), but I want to release them all at the same time (my plan is to include this in a restart() function for the graph).

That's not a Bostock's bl.ocks, and there is no double click there to release the nodes.
Anyway, you just need to remove the fx and fy properties, and reheat the simulation again:
d3.select("button").on("click", function() {
node.each(function(d) {
d.fx = d.fy = null;
})
simulation.alphaTarget(0.3).restart();
})
I'm using alphaTarget because that's what you have in your code, but you should consider using alpha instead.
Here is the code with that change:
