Since 2.1.5, data dabels on negative columns and bars overlap the bar

[TorsteinHonsi]

In earlier versions, there was a hack available for programmatically setting the x or y offset: http://jsfiddle.net/highcharts/QbGPV/

Due to some reorganizing, adjusting the options from the formatter is no longer possible. Instead, we will provide better default behaviour for these cases so that the implementers don't have to consider it.

Test if this fix is ok. Remove the hack all together. The default now is to position the label below the bar if its negative and no y-value is specified.

To do:

• Detect user set font size
• Implement for inverted chart

Closing this issue, as it works a lot better now: http://jsfiddle.net/8g42d/23/
We could open a new one if we need support for font sizes.
