Describe the feature:

The current legend position in charts in the right hand side one:

while this position is functional, it "removes" a lot of charting space by default to the workspace, in particular for date histogram scenarios where more width is quite important.

While there's the option to manually move the legend to another position, I would propose to change the default behaviour here to bottom for XY and Heatmap charts:

Maybe to consider also the Mosaic case, which is a peculiar partition chart.
I do not believe other chart type needs such big change.

Some extra thoughts:

This seems to me like a great improvement. Many users are defaults-users. This has the potential to improve out-of-the-box aesthetics.

I guess the only downside is that it can lead to misaligned charts if the legends take up different amounts of vertical space.

Not sure how big a drawback this would be
