RFC: Allow specifying margins in percents

Absolute margin values pose a problem if you want to place a surface
certain distance away from a screen edge (in percents) but you also want
the compositor to place the surface on the active output.

At the moment, this issue is worked around by using kwin dbus api to
query the active output. This is not good.

This change is a take on allowing to specify margin values in percents.
It can be used to drop a dbus call in krunner and assist us with porting
other components to layer shell, e.g. OSDs, they also need to be placed
one third away the bottom screen edge.
