Fix Annulus width check (matplotlib#27811)

* Update patches.py

Fix check on annulus width to reflect the error message printed. The logic is presented in this (slightly) convoluted form to better conform with the error message. Obviously, `if min(self.a, self.b) < width:` works just as well.

This fix will allow annuli to be equivalent to Circles (in terms of area plotted, not underlying object structure). This means plotting (`_recompute_path`, I believe) could be improved by checking for `if w==a or w==b: PLOT WITHOUT HOLE`. Not sure how that would work, but everything does seem to work even without that change.

* Update lib/matplotlib/patches.py

We're in agreement on this.
