[Feature Request] VOverlay: Support connected locationStrategy without flipping origin alignment

Problem to solve

For VOverlays that use the "connected" locationStrategy, and have content that changes size, it is sometimes better to allow shifting the position, but not flipping the origin alignment to a different corner. That way, it stays consistent as the content size changes.

This reproduction shows how the origin can flip as content size changes. (In the neighborhood of a desktop browser window, say, 1700x900): https://play.vuetifyjs.com/playgrounds/lU44gg

Proposed solution

Adding a noFlip prop that skips the block of code that decides whether to flip is a small change that logically should have no changes to behavior when the prop isn't used.
