Scrollbar: Fade out and disable interaction when too small, in order to facilitate using the resize grab on very small window, as well as reducing visual noise/overlap. (+1 squashed commits)

Internals: Added GetScrollbarID(). (#1185)

@@ -61,6 +61,8 @@ Other Changes:
 - RadioButton: Fixed label horizontal alignment to precisely match Checkbox().
 - Window: When resizing from an edge, the border is more visible and better follow the rounded corners.
 - Window: Fixed initial width of collapsed windows not taking account of contents width (broken in 1.67). (#2336, #176)

 - ListBox: Better optimized when clipped / non-visible.
 - InputTextMultiline: Better optimized when clipped / non-visible.
 - Font: Fixed high-level ImGui::CalcTextSize() used by most widgets from erroneously subtracting 1.0f*scale to
