Apply additional space along each edge of the content in `Dp`: `left`, `top`, `right` and
`bottom`. These paddings are applied without regard to the current `LayoutDirection`, see
`padding` to apply relative paddings. Padding is applied before content measurement and takes
precedence; content may only be as large as the remaining space.

Negative padding is not permitted — it will cause `IllegalArgumentException`. See
`Modifier.offset`.
