fix(material/tabs): avoid interrupting click event when scrolling the header (#21911)

When a header is scrollable, we scroll a tab into view whenever it receives focus. The
problem is that if focus is moved as a result of a mouse/touch event, the tab can be
moved out from under the pointer, interrupting the click.

These changes work around the issue by not scrolling the header on mouse/touch focus.

Fixes #21898.
