Allow passing counter style to adjust margins of carousel component

[alwaysintune]

Description

Adds a new counterContainerStyle prop to the Carousel component to allow customization of the counter container's styling. This complements the existing counterTextStyle prop by enabling developers to adjust the counter container's appearance (margins, padding, positioning, background, etc.) while counterTextStyle continues to control the text styling inside the counter.

Changelog

Carousel - Added counterContainerStyle prop (StyleProp) to customize the counter container's style. This allows adjusting margins, padding, positioning, and other visual properties of the counter container when showCounter is enabled.

Additional info

This enhancement provides more flexibility for customizing the counter appearance, particularly useful for adjusting margins and positioning to match different design requirements or layouts.

Hi @alwaysintune, I left a small comment about the naming convenience of the prop name.

Since it's only for the counter container, I think counterContainerStyle is better naming here and creates a clear separation between the container and the text styling.

Generally, we should avoid adding styles for each view in the hierarchy.
Let's try to find a solution that solves the issue without an additional prop.
Please open a ticket if needed.

That's the only solution to add margin to the right

To elaborate more - currently counter has an absolute position. Absolute position forces item design to conform, fill the full width, whilst carousel is written with use cases in mind, so a lot of props can't be used together (i. e. loop and item spacings).

Mixing with banners leads to cases where it would be best to have a different position for counter because it conflicts with dismiss x action
