Truncated labels in hist (PR#8864)

Hi, people.  Executing the following command:

   hist(rpois(100,5), labels=TRUE)

yields a graphic in which some labels are truncated (on an X11 device).
The truncated labels are those over the highest bars.  The hist function
should ideally manage enough room for the labels, automatically.
(Specifying ylim solves my problem, but yet, hist could be frienlier.)

I don't see this on Windows using windows(), or Linux using X11().  I 
imagine it's a case that the device isn't reporting the size of fonts 
properly, and since my X server shows things properly, I would guess 
it's a problem with your X server, not with R.

Thanks a lot, Duncan, for checking on your side, and replying.  I'll try 
to explore if something is wrong here, that I could understand :-).
