Ideally this would be a setting, similar to the existing one for the main editor scrollbar (Editor › Scrollbar: Vertical Scrollbar Size -- editor.scrollbar.verticalScrollbarSize), but at least this would default to something more usable.

I don't feel comfortable changing the default option, I suggest to go around this by going to the explorer tree and exercising ScrollableElementCreationOptions.verticalScrollbarSize there in the place where the scrollable element is instantiated because this change affects the scrollbar in all the places it is used.

The PR does however also fix a jsdoc comment for verticalScrollbarSize in the editor options, which does indeed default to 14. Since I was there, I noticed the jsdoc comment for horizontalScrollbarSize was also out-of-date.

I will keep this PR to fix the jsdoc comments.
