Subject: [PATCH] Slightly change interact behavior around thin splitters
 (#7806)

* Added in https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/5468
* Related to https://github.com/emilk/egui/pull/7803

The code doesn't seem to longer be needed. Interacting with a resize
splitter isn't very difficult, and I never liked that special case.
