Feature Request/Improvements in BarChart

[mishra3452]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm working on a BarChart that displays the number of questions asked each year for a specific exam. In this chart, the Y-axis represents the count of questions and the X-axis represents the years. While I have successfully implemented a basic BarChart layout, I would like to enhance its appearance and functionality with the following features:

Describe the solution you'd like

1. Padding Adjustments:
   Introduce extra padding on the left side of the first bar and on the right side of the last bar.
2. Value Labels on Bars:
   Display the number of questions at the top of each vertical bar.
3. Customisable X-Axis Label Character Limit:
   Currently, only the first three characters of each x-axis label are shown. Please add an option to specify a custom character limit for these labels.
4. Extended Axis Lines:
   The x and y axis lines currently end exactly at the edge of the bars. It would be helpful to extend these lines by approximately 10dp so that they slightly exceed the bar boundaries.
5. Text Styling Options:
   Add support for applying custom TextStyles to x-axis labels, y-axis labels, and the value labels on top of the bars.
6. Resolve Axis Overlap Issue:
   Ensure that the bottom edge of each bar does not overlap with the x-axis line.
7. Integer Labels Option (Optional):
   Provide an option to display axis labels as integers instead of decimals.
8. Customisable Bar Corner Radius (Optional):
   Allow for setting custom rounded corners on the bars by supporting a configurable corner radius.

@mishra3452, huge thanks for stirring the pot with that enhancement request! 🍲 You’ll be happy to know that some of those shiny new features have already made their grand entrance in v2.1.0-Beta03. ✅

As for the rest? Well, good things take time... or at least a couple more cups of coffee. ☕ Stay tuned—more Charty magic coming your way soon! ✨

Ive been looking for a great charting addition to our app, this looks like something we could use, but we're looking to use the ComparisonBarChart - would be awesome to have these additions in that too, the ComparisonBarChartConfig hasnt been updated with these great additions.
