Tooltip / Popover corner placement support

[shaoner]

Hi,

I don't know if it has already been discussed (I suppose it has but cannot find the related issue): is there any plan to add some new placements for popovers like bottom-left, top-right, etc?
I have implemented it on my side in tooltip.js / tooltip.less, it is not so intrusive (i.e. it does not break the existing placement option), only the 'auto' option might behave differently.

You mean diagonal positions?

[deviprsd]

Yes, diagonal.

@deviprsd21: I was asking @shaoner.

[shaoner]

@cvrebert yes exactly. There are few cases it can make sense. For example, for a link at the top-left on your page or in any container that you don't want to / cannot override like here.
This might be too specific or something that the community don't need for now but since there is a placement option, it could handle more situations.

Duplicate of #6131, although I don't think v2.3.0 actually addressed the request.

[deviprsd]

@cvrebert my bad. Nothing intended.
