StateMachine connectors have far too much padding.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

An example of this problem is available on the jsPlumb website itself.
http://jsplumb.org/jquery/stateMachineDemo.html

Basically, when a StateMachine connector is created and the element it's 
attached to is to the right or bottom of the page (give or take 100 pixels) the 
scrollbar for the page will appear.

Looked through the code and found the problem and a fix.
It's in the jsPlumb.Connectors.StateMachine.compute function.

The fix: Use curviness (at least for me, may need another check for endpoint 
size) instead of an arbitrary guess of 3* the differences.

Attached the overwritten version of the code that seems to work for me.
May be a starting point if you want to look further into this issue.

i'm gonna fold this one into issue 314, which is a related issue involving the 
flowchart connectors: both issues point to the fact that there should be some 
generic functionality that handles the derivation of the optimum size for the 
container for some connector.  so i'm marking this a duplicate, although it's 
not an exact duplicate of course.
