Describe the bug

At the moment the lib used to position the Popover dropdown is @floating-ui/react, and it provides an option for the positioning strategy. The file use-popover.ts, which Popover uses, doesn't allow for the strategy to be passed as an option to useFloating.

In cases the Popover.Target is fixed or sticky, the absolute strategy will flicker Popover.Dropdown's position during the scroll.

If possible, include a link to a codesandbox with a minimal reproduction
