## Summary of the Pull Request

Added `ShouldConstrainToRootBounds="False"` to the Flyout element,
allowing it to extend beyond the bounds of its parent container. This
allows the menu to always open with top-left corner at the cursor
position as is common for the context menus.

This affects the menu only when opened as a context menu on the list
item (e.g. mouse right-click), not when opened from the Command Bar
(that opens same as before).
