Add temporary faux api to allow popups to constrain popup placement

David Edmundson requested to merge work/cherry-pick-a75b2503 into Plasma/6.1

We want popups to not overlap other panels. We do not know these locations from within libplasma window code.

Short term, this patch adds a property to allow client code to set the availableScreenGeometry that should be used to constrain the window.

Mid-term will be addressed properly in Plasma 6.2 with a singleton that tracks available screen geometry which is described at #22 (comment 943229) with pending MRs, but it's too late for 6.1

Long-term (on wayland) kwin will position the window semantically itself and this comes for free.

The code is not the prettiest, but there is a plan scheduled and it's a good test of the underlying workflow we want without committing to API.

(cherry picked from commit a75b2503)
