Position: Allow for arbitrary element to be containing element

Description
At the moment, the collision is only defined in relation to window. I think that any arbitrary containing element, possible limited to parent elements, should be able to be used as the container which collisions are calculated from.

I just saw a pretty perfect use case for this while trying to help someone on #jQuery.
Lets say you have some wide content you want to position to the left/right of your hovered element, but you don't want this content to break outside of your current pages flow. If you could
{within: '#contiainer', my: 'top left', at:'top right', collision:'flip'}

For some reason I never closed this ticket. Fixed by 433ed6eecf055eba327ced7e7c0ff0ce9b5fc304 / https://github.com/jquery/jquery-ui/pull/254
This could be another option, called "within", with window as the default.
