Description
@markrickert and I were discussing this.
So layout has `centered: :horizontal` and such, but if you apply a layout to a set of views, it will get applied to each individually. But sometimes you want to apply something like that to a group of views. Dealing with groups is what `distribute` is good at. So the idea is to add some new params to `distribute` to handle this.
Perhaps this is overloading `distribute` too much and we should make a `group_layout` instead.
Something like this:
```
[ [a] [ b ] [c] ]
```
Then this
``` ruby
rmq(a,b,c).distribute(:horizontal, margin: 5, alignment: :centered)
```
Does this
```
[ [a] [ b ] [c] ]
```
Or this
``` ruby
rmq(a,b,c).distribute(:horizontal, margin: 5, alignment: :right)
```
Does this
```
[ [a] [ b ] [c] ]
```
^ in this case, does a 5 margin get applied between [c] and the parent's right?

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the existing distribute implementation and the centered layout behavior, then resolve whether this belongs in distribute or a separate group_layout API. Done should match the requested horizontal alignment and margin behavior, with tests covering the shown alignment cases.
