Outside text relativebarmode confusing when bars disconnected

With relative barmode and {textposition: 'outside'}, outside text will smartly position the text of the first bar as ‘inside’. However, when there are two disconnected bars this results in the text of both bars being ‘inside’. This is not a problem when barmode has the default value.

Great PR @eivindjahren - I’m always happy to see a one-line change in src backed up by 60 lines of tests!

Another solution is to have ‘outside’ always mean ‘outside’, if you want the smart behavior you use ‘auto’.

Possible, though the existing 'auto' logic depends on the text size relative to the bar height, and ends up meaning “usually inside, but put it outside if we can and the bar is too small” - would be nice to clarify this behavior (for both 'auto' and 'outside') in the textposition description though!

@alexcjohnson I have made a work in progress PR on my fork (first PR here so needed to conform to the contribution guidelines). It should implement your proposed solution. I still want to test it out a bit more, but hopefully this is in the right direction.
