Add margin option to auto resizer

[AndrewLeedham]

It would be useful to provide margin to be added to the size calculated by the auto resizer in Contentful Apps. For example using the forma-36 Autocomplete component with the auto resizer the shadow is cut-off:

Adding 5-10px of margin here would solve the issue.

When using @contentful/react-apps-toolkit it would look something like this:

function Component() {
  useAutoResizer({ absoluteElements: true, margin: 10 });
}

Hey @AndrewLeedham I'll bring this up with the team and see if we can do something like this

Just to make sure, you've tried using something like
sdk.window.startAutoResizer({ absoluteElements: true }); ?

It sounds like you have, but I thought I'd drop the snippet as it's a not well-documented feature of the sdk.

@mgoudy91 Yes I am actively using absoluteElements: true as your <Autocomplete/> component positions the dropdown absolutely.

Sounds good, I'll have this thread updated when the long term fix is in place
