Fixed issues

• [Bug] Size VisualMap label collides in horizontal position #20248

Details

Before: What was the problem?

Label for handle at minimum position collides with the handle. The reason is that the distance between label and handle is based on the handle size and it changes depending on handle position. Currently label has always verticalAlign set to "middle", which is the cause of the collision (when distance is less than the half of the label height, the items collide). For labels below, vertical align could be "top" and for labels above, vertical align could be "bottom".

After: How does it behave after the fixing?

The labels below maximum range in horizontal visualMap get a slight offset to avoid collision.
This solution is not perfect, as the calculation method is different for vertical and horizontal visualMap, but I see no better way for now, to both fix the issue and keep other labels positions unchanged.

It seems to break down some default label positions. You may check them by running npm run test:visual and run the demos containing "visualMap".

Thank you for quick review. I implemented other solution, that affects only cases, where the labels collide. I updated the description and the screenshots.

I also noticed, that visualMap-continuous displays only one case in automated tests (while the file consists of 5 tests now). I fixed that issue, by changing the container height from relative to absolute (also did some minor refactor of the test code).

Better review the test file changes with the ignore of the whitespace enabled (refactor affected the indentations).

@Ovilia is there anything more I should do, or anyone I should consult with regarding these changes?
