    Description

      Centering popups and dialogs is very common, so we should make it more straight-forward. Dialogs could possibly even center to the window by default, unless explicitly positioned otherwise.

      Some ideas we've had so far:

      a) using magic enum values like Popup.CenterInParent (and Popup.CenterInWindow):

      ApplicationWindow {
    Button {
        Popup {
            x: Popup.CenterInParent // or Popup.CenterInWindow, or parent: window.overlay
            y: Popup.CenterInParent // or Popup.CenterInWindow, or parent: window.overlay
        }
    }
}

      b) a dedicated property, similar to anchors.centerIn:

      ApplicationWindow {
    id: window
    Button {
        Popup {
            centerIn: parent // or centerIn: window
        }
    }
}
