Scroll bar visibility should be configurable

See original GitHub issue

VSCode Version

vs code version

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Visual Studio code and open a large text file

Current Behaviour

In Visual Studio Code, editors’ scroll bars auto hide, thereby thwarting targeting the scroll bar handle when moving the mouse.

Expected Behaviour

Visual Studio Code should follow the Windows system setting Settings > Ease of Access > Display > Automatically hide scrollbar in Windows

… and, I may add, to extend this feature to all panels, including Explorer and Terminal, as it should be an application wide accessibility setting, not an editor feature.
