Better Width control for HorizontalGroup

It would be nice have have a bit more control over the sizing of HorizontalGroup elements

For example:

[ShowInInspector, HideLabel, DisplayAsString]
[HorizontalGroup("Demo"), PropertyOrder(0)]
public string DynamicInfo
{
    get { return /* Something Dynamically Calculated */ }
}
[HideLabel]
[HorizontalGroup("Demo"), PropertyOrder(1)]
public string SerializedInfo = "This is some serialized info";

Since DynamicInfo can change in size, setting a static width on its HorizontalGroupAttribute is not ideal.

Potential additions

HorizontalGroup(width: -1) : The element would try to automatically scale to as small as possible, while still showing the whole element.
HorizontalGroup(minWidth: 10, maxWidth: 100) : The element would scale as normal, but would not scale to be larger than maxWidth or smaller than minWidth.

So for DynamicInfo in the above example:

Using [HorizontalGroup("Demo", width: -1, minWidth:10, maxWidth: 100)]
- scales it to the minimum required size, as long as that size is within range [10, 100].
Using [HorizontalGroup("Demo", minWidth:10, maxWidth: 100)]
- scales it as normal (50% of the total width of the group since there is only one other element in the group), as long as that size is within the range [10, 100]
Using [HorizontalGroup("Demo", minWidth:10)]
- scales it as normal, with no upper bound, but it would never become smaller than 10.
Using [HorizontalGroup("Demo", width: 20, minWidth: 80, maxWidth: 100)]
- scales it to a locked size of 80 (min/max Width are respected over width).
