Add an "automatic" popup direction option

[GoogleCodeExporter]

And another direction option for popup buttons "Automatic". It should use the 
direction logical 
for the placement of the bar. 

Pseudo code:
if columns > rows
  -- horizontal bar
  if y < screenhigh / 2 then
    -- nearer top of screen
    direction = bottom
  else
    -- nearer bottom of screen
   direction = top
  end 
else -- rows < colums
  -- vertical bar
  if x < screenwidth / 2 then
    -- nearer left of screen
   direction = right
  else
    -- nearer right of screen
    direction = left
  end
end

• Changed title: Add an "automatic" popup direction option
• Added labels: Type-Feature, Priority-Low
• Removed labels: Type-Defect, Priority-Medium

This would be really useful, especially as it is hard to find where the 
direction option is in the UI anyway.
