Menu.setLocation(...) has no effect in Tabris 2.x

[mkempka]

Back in Tabris 1.x Menu.setLocation(...) would move the menu to a point on the screen. This only worked on iPad.

In Tabris 2.x this doesn’t have any effect any more. Instead the menu always shows up in the center of the display. Please restore the location behavior from Tabris 1.x, so that we can use the menu entries like this again:

Action sheet's presenter has sourceRect property we could use to enable manipulation of position. Setting this will make action sheet appear somewhere around the specified rect. We would have to make new APIs for this.

As discussed with @ifurnadjiev: If it was Tabris 3.x (js), you could have positioned the popup according to the action's absoluteBounds: https://docs.tabris.com/latest/api/Widget.html#absolutebounds

However, backporting this feature to 2.x and exposing this API to Tabris might require some effort.

I have implemented undocumented property sourceRect on ActionSheet. It expects Bounds type https://docs.tabris.com/latest/types.html#bounds. It should be set before opening the action sheet.
