Defining the viewbox property with the SVG directive

[Vechro]

One of the only things you can't define in CSS for SVG is the viewbox property. I'd like to request a feature to pass a (perhaps optional) argument to the @svg directive that lets you define the viewbox size.

We could also allow overwriting, the width and height attributes: https://github.com/mint-lang/mint/blob/master/src/compilers/directives/svg.cr#L18

Are those three the most important, or should we add all possible <svg> attributes?

It seems these six are the most relevant:
preserveAspectRatio, viewBox, height, width, x, y

Yes we can add other attributes as well, it might come in handy for some use cases.

We currently raise an issue, when the width, height, viewBox attributes are not defined on the SVG, is this required?

With the current implementation yes they are required because we use them.

I don't see any reason why we could not make them optional (only use them when they are present), and overridable.

I guess I made them required because it is a good practice to have them.

const ALERT = @svg(../public/tiger.svg,
  preserveAspectRatio = "xMidYMid meet",
  viewBox = "0 0 100 100",
  width = 100,
  height = 100,
  x = 0,
  y = 0)
