ticks padding does not work as expected

[roger21]

Expected behavior

the doc for options.scales[scaleId].ticks.padding says : "number 3 Sets the offset of the tick labels from the axis"

Current behavior

but instead the padding is applied all around the label making the graph area unnecessary smaller

and we can't use the padding object here

plus it is not "from the axis" but from the "tick drawing" (unclear)
