gpui: Fix follow_tail not re-engaging after scrollbar drag (#54570)

Fixes an inconsistency with the way scrolling interacts with the
`follow_tail` GPUI list feature:
- Scrolling normally sets `follow_state` to `FollowState::Tail {
is_following: false }`, so later scrolling to the bottom re-engages
`follow_tail`
- Scrolling by dragging the scrollbar previously set `follow_state` to
`FollowState::Normal`, preventing `follow_tail` from re-engaging after
scrolling to the bottom

As far as I can tell this behavior was unintentional, despite there
being a test that exercised this exact behavior that `follow_tail`
doesn't re-engage after dragging the scrollbar — my best guess is that
that test was derived from the bugged scrollbar handler logic, and not
based on any actual intent for scrollbar drags to prevent `follow_tail`
from re-engaging.
