Allow a Dimension::Fit to extend beyond the terminal maximum height (#950)

For long tables (and other DOM elements), one may want the screen to render on dimensions higher than the terminal.  
Hence, this PR proposes a way to do so, with an optional parameter in the `Dimension::Fit` util function.
