Summary

This pull request adds support for TooltipDirection.auto, allowing SuperTooltip to automatically determine the most suitable display direction based on available screen space.

Changes

  1. New Direction Support
    • Added TooltipDirection.auto to allow dynamic tooltip placement.
    • The direction is resolved based on:
      - available space around the target
      - estimated tooltip size
      - screen margins

Usage Example

SuperTooltip(
  popupDirection: TooltipDirection.auto,
  content: const Text("Smart positioned tooltip"),
  child: const Icon(Icons.info),
);

feat: support TooltipDirection.auto

Adds TooltipDirection.auto to allow dynamic tooltip placement based on
available screen space.

The auto direction is resolved once during overlay creation and stored
as a resolved direction, which is then reused consistently for:
- layout constraints
- tooltip positioning
- close button positioning
- margin and padding calculations

This prevents runtime assertions caused by passing `auto` into layout
and rendering logic.
