Can't use FloutingUI autoPlacement

[sirmspencer]

Shepherd adds flip and shift to default options, then does a deep merge with any other options passed in. Flip and autoPlacement are not compatible so adding autoPlacement to floatingUIOptions.middleware just causes errors.

I tried not passing in a placement so shouldCenter is true, but there are side effects in other parts of the code that block floating UI all together.

You could check for something like :on "auto" to skip adding flip. autoPlacement doesn't need a placement so you can skip options.placement = attachToOptions.on; too.

Same here, version 12.0.1, if I pass on: 'auto' the step is positioned weirdly.

Another problem is with passing offset middleware, when clicking between steps, the step jumps to its offset. Not sure if tied to the same problem
