Feature: Add control over anchor point for callout on label

This gives users control over where a callout should join to the label text (previously, you only had control over where the callout would join to the corresponding feature geometry).

Choices include:

  • Closest point (previous behavior)
  • Label Centroid
  • Fixed corners: Top left/top right/bottom left/bottom right/etc

Data defined control over the label anchor is also possible.

Helps fix some callout ugliness!

With new "centroid" placement:
