 - Renamed OpenPopupContextItem() back to OpenPopupOnItemClick(), REVERTED CHANGE FROM 1.77.
   For variety of reason this is more self-explanatory.
+- Removed return value from OpenPopupOnItemClick() - returned true on mouse release on item - because it
+  is inconsistent with other popups API and makes others misleading. It's also and unnecessary: you can
+  use IsWindowAppearing() after BeginPopup() for a similar result.

  - 2020/09/17 (1.79) - removed ImFont::DisplayOffset in favor of ImFontConfig::GlyphOffset. DisplayOffset was applied after scaling and not very meaningful/useful outside of being needed by the default ProggyClean font. It was also getting in the way of better font scaling, so let's get rid of it now!
  - 2020/08/17 (1.78) - obsoleted use of the trailing 'float power=1.0f' parameter for DragFloat(), DragFloat2(), DragFloat3(), DragFloat4(), DragFloatRange2(), DragScalar(), DragScalarN(), SliderFloat(), SliderFloat2(), SliderFloat3(), SliderFloat4(), SliderScalar(), SliderScalarN(), VSliderFloat() and VSliderScalar().
                        replaced the 'float power=1.0f' argument with integer-based flags defaulting to 0 (as with all our flags).
