Description
### Expected behavior
the doc for options.scales[scaleId].ticks.padding says : "number 3 Sets the offset of the tick labels from the axis"
### Current behavior
but instead the padding is applied all around the label making the graph area unnecessary smaller
and we can't use the padding object here
plus it is not "from the axis" but from the "tick drawing" (unclear)
