What's Changed

• enhance: Improve scrollbar rendering speed that uses externalViewport such as integrating with 3rd party library.
• enhance: Use the shared resize observer from the CDK to do the necessary calculation.
• enhance: asyncDetection Use the content observer service from the CDK to detect viewport and content wrapper elements.
• enhance: use --scrollbar-thumb-hover-color not only when hovered but also when active.
• enhance: track and thumb controls uses more accurate measures using getBoundingClientRect instead of direct size properties.
• refactor: Switch to InputSignal instead of standards inputs across components.
• refactor: Use effects instead of ngOnInit to initialize the scrollbar component.
