Feature suggestion: set GUI size constraints from the DAW to make embedded UIs look good

Something that Max4Live seems to do well for Ableton is be able to make user interfaces that fit within the daw rather than floating over it. This enabled Elisa Hom to create a M4L device that presents a really nice interface for the Valhalla plugins.

I wonder if this might be a feasible goal for a future version of clap - I don't see this being obviously possible in gui.h. I'd love to see more plugins do something similar to the above for Bitwig (and any other DAW).

Implementation-wise, I'd imaging that this would be something akin to the DAW communicating constraints on the size (max height / width) of the window, allowing the plugin to perhaps include different UX for each DAW size.

I'm not a plugin dev, so there isn't a specific use case for this other than wanting to see it for plugins I'd use.
