Paper dropdown menus near the bottom of the window should drop up
From @CSEMike on October 23, 2015 19:17
Paper dropdowns near the bottom of the window always open down, creating a compressed scroll area that's very difficult to navigate. (This is doubly challenging on OSX, wherein scroll bars are invisible by default.)

I'd expect the behavior of polyer dropdowns to match other UI dropdown widgets and drop 'up' rather than down if the dropdown is too close to the bottom of the window and has more room above than below.

I think we should add an attribute to paper-dropdown-menu (and iron-dropdown) to enable "automatic" alignment based on the viewport.
Any update on this issue?
I would be willing to work on a fix, however, I'm not exactly sure where to start. My hunch is that an iron-overlay-behavior method needs to be overridden.
Also, any temp fixes/recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
