Datepicker: Expose option to append to something else then body

Description

Currently the datepicker is always appended to the body element, hardcoded (except inline datepickers). The code is even scattered across the plugin, so to change it I have to change various places.

A potential name for the option would be "appendTo", accepting a selector/jQuery object, with the default of "body" or document.body.

For a usecase, see http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-ui-dev/browse_thread/thread/49a59aa4dfb6e96e

The same option would apply to the Dialog control.

Hi. Is there any chance that this will be fixed soon? Now there is no way to use this datepicker in a scrollable element.

This won't be fixed until datepicker is rewritten, which is currently planned for the 2.0 release, but it's possible that it can land in the 1.9 release.

Duplicate of #9013.Closing as a duplicate of #9013 even though this is much older because the newer ticket addresses the specific implementation we'll use.
