Feature: Label item margins

• You can now control both horizontal and vertical margins for label items. Previously only a single margin setting would apply to both horizontal and vertical margins. This change allows users to specify different horizontal and vertical margins.
• You can now specify negative margins for label items, allowing text to be drawn slightly outside of a label item's bounds. This is desirable for aligning label items with other items while allowing for optical margin alignment for the label type.
