Whitespace guidelines in UX Guide

Would be great to have some guidelines for space between and around elements

Examples:

Basics

  • Unit used (px, em, or other)
  • Size for small / normal / large spaces
  • Using divider lines vs whitespace

Layout

  • Vertical rhythm guidelines
  • Space between related items
  • Space between separate sections

Components

  • Alignment of labels with inputs (e.g. margin-right amount for inline labels)
  • Input field / button padding
  • When to add padding around grouped elements, e.g. list items - see https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/29555#note_25944657
