Increase the size of pointer areas for tabs in Preferences Menu #932

While testing https://github.com/phetsims/qa/issues/958, with interactive highlights on, I noticed that the pointer areas between the tabs aren't flush against each other. If I quickly move my mouse from one tab to the the next, the group highlight will disappear and quickly reappear, leading to a flashing affect.

Thanks @Nancy-Salpepi, this is a pretty poor UX. A fix has been made in the above commit, can you please verify?

Yes! Much nicer now @jessegreenberg! Closing.
