Keep dropdown choices inside the window #25

Description

I want to see and click every choice in a short dropdown near the window edge. It should open above its button when it will not fit below, and move inward at the sides.

Handling this in the dropdown itself would save games from writing a placement workaround. A list taller than the whole window still needs a scrolling list control.

PR #9 uses the widget fix from Silky #67.

    Consolidating into #26 to keep the issue list focused. Dropdown placement is an existing Silky widget fix needed by the menu example.

    The useful requirements are now in that issue. Closing this separate tracker does not mark the implementation complete.
