Description

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be useful to be able to change where the signature is created. Currently it is created right above the cursor, however it is common to have code right above the cursor that you may like to be able to nicely read while also seeing the signature.
A simple method would be to have a setting for shifting the position of the signature up/down left/right via some constant value.

Research direction
Examine how signatures are currently displayed in the Lapce editor UI, likely in the `lapce ui` crate. Look for where the signature popup position is computed (e.g., relative to the cursor) and add a configuration option to offset it by a constant value horizontally and vertically.
