Description

As described in #3263, Live(vertical_overflow="visible") has the unfortunate behavior of duplicating content when the content update exceeds the height of the console. This is especially unfortunate for a few reasons:

• It seems there is no way to get rid of the duplicated content (i.e., transient=True doesn't help to avoid this).
• There are no other vertical_overflow options that allows for the "newest" content to be visible.
• In today's Gen AI world where markdown often is received in chunks, it's really useful to have a live display where a (possibly long) markdown string accumulates over time.

This PR proposes a new option vertical_overflow="crop_above" which does the reverse of vertical_overflow="crop" (it displays only the bottom portion of the content instead of the top). It has the nice behavior of always making the "newest" content visible, but without the downside of duplicated content. Here's a demo:

import requests
import time

from rich.live import Live
from rich.markdown import Markdown

readme = requests.get(
    "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/posit-dev/py-shiny/refs/heads/main/README.md"
)
readme_chunks = readme.text.replace("\n", " \n ").split(" ")[: 200]

content = ""
with Live(auto_refresh=False, vertical_overflow="crop_above") as live:
    for chunk in readme_chunks:
        content += chunk + " "
        time.sleep(0.01)
        live.update(Markdown(content), refresh=True)

And note that if you change vertical_overflow="crop_above" to vertical_overflow="visible", this is the behavior:

I'm happy to write tests or anything else you need if you like this overall direction
