Motivation and Context
This PR is implementing a different approach for detecting gaps in the widget grid in order to create placeholders for inline widget creation.
Instead of detecting leading, trailing and intermediate gaps by comparing widgets to the boundaries of the grid and itself, it fills a m x n grid with markers for existing widgets. After that, it tries to fill rectangles of the biggest possible size in the unfilled spaces. It avoids creating placeholders for rectangles with a width lower than 2, as well as skipping empty rows between widgets.
This is supposed to avoid placement problems that we have seen in #15308 & #15538.
Fixes #15308.
Fixes #15538.
