Make the resulting BPopUpMenu always pop up on an edge of the resulting menu.

the

move
the menu up. That way, the mouse will never appear on top of the menu and so
you can never accidentally select an item without moving the mouse.
I tested on Linux with GTK in Chrome and that is indeed how it works
and I think it may be better indeed. I know we try not to just copy
other OSes willy nilly but this may be a case where their behavior is
better and our behavior (and even that from BeOS) is just not as good.
Any other comments?
I know I wrote a tome before but as I said I would like to finally get
this right.
