Now that I think of it, I'm wondering if it is even necessary to make
this configurable in TerraFormSkin. Is there actually a case where we
would not want the form labels to be baseline-aligned? I do think that
a style is appropriate for FlowPane, though.

I think a similar question applies to a vertical BoxPane, for
example, or a TablePane. I imagine that a common requirement would
be to align the form label with the baseline of the first component
in a vertical box pane, or the first row of a table pane. Similarly,
we'd probably want to define the baseline of a TextArea as the
baseline of the first row.
However, each of these components could make its definition of
baseline configurable. For example, BoxPaneSkin could provide a
style that allowed a caller to define the baseline as the baseline
of the last component instead. I'm not sure we'd need to support
that right away, though. We could easily add it later, if it made
sense.
