[Feature] let gauge radius be larger than half height / half width

[wvhn]

What problem does this feature solve?

To create VU meters with the gauge type, I need more flexibility in specifying the gauge radius and cut off the pointers anchor.
Result should look like this (source: Highcharts):

I am able to set up a similar gauge layout with echarts but the radius is limited to the minimum of half height and half width. So the gauge gets much smaller if I use the same container size like in Highcharts.

What does the proposed API look like?

API could stay the same but radius restriction needs to be altered. I'm not sure whether an additional option is needed for the pointer to have it's anchor outside the container.

The radius (and other) percentages could be used creatively: Demo

Thanks for the example. It works well in my application now. Maybe I had given up too early because I had misunderstood the documentation which says
The radius of gauge chart. It can be a percentage value of the **smaller of container half width and half height**, also can be an absolute value.
