1. When the select-kit body is rendered, it defaults to being displayed under the triggering select-kit header, unless...
there isn't enough space between the bottom of the select-kit header and the bottom of the viewport
&
there's enough space on top of the select-kit header, and in that case, we render it on top.
2. We give it a bit of padding on top, so it never renders below the header on the Z-axis.

3. If there isn't enough space between the bottom of the viewport and the bottom of the select-kit header, and there isn't enough space between its top and the bottom of `d-header`, it renders at the bottom of the select-kit header.
In theory, number 3 above rarely ever happens. However, it can occur in the case of the user preferences page in combination with a large select-kit body (many categories).
The select-kit body then renders below the trigging select-kit header, but it's cut off. Users won't be able to see the entire select-kit body.
Here's an example

This PR adds a "prevent overflow" modifier to Popper. What it does is that it handles the case above.
If there's not enough space below the select-kit header or above it, render the select-kit body below the select-kit header BUT... anchor it to the bottom of the viewport.
Here's what that looks like

After this fix, even very large select-kit bodies will always be on the screen.
Please note that this PR has no impact on either number 1 or number 2 above, and those will continue to function as they currently do.
The only downside here is that the select-kit body might cover the select-kit header if it needs to be anchored at the bottom of the viewport, and it's very large. However, between that and not being able to see all the options, I think it's a fair compromise. There's only so much space in the viewport.
This PR ignores mobile because we have a different placement strategy. We use `position: absolute`... so, users can scroll the viewport if needed.
