Feature: Overrun distance for line labels

We understand that making a cartographic masterpiece is a demanding task, so in QGIS 3.10 we've extended the capabilities of curved labels by adding a new "overrun distance" setting. This setting allows you to control exactly how far a curved label is allowed to extend past to ends of a line feature. Bumping up the distance will result in giving the labeling engine more flexibility in placing your labels, resulting in more labels being placed in better locations on your map! Win! The setting works for both curved and parallel label modes, and supports distances in mm/map units/pixels/etc, and data-defined distances.
