position: collision should take margin into account

Description

The position utility should take into account margins when performing collisions (or offer some other way of offsetting the collision box from the element itself). This way you could prevent positioned elements from getting too close to the edge of the screen. This is especially useful when the positioned element uses -moz-box-shadow, since a shadow that falls outside the page will cause scrollbars.

I'd really love to see this patch committed - without it there's no good way to use drop shadows on positioned elements or pop stuff up that doesn't go to the exact edge of the screen.

I rebased the IE8 fix and the original patch together into one commit on top of the latest master if that makes it easier to pull: http://github.com/bhollis/jquery-ui/commit/118a2f86a1c74ab5f42a1700512ec33667296f12
