…#28136)

Issue number: Resolves #27169

<!-- Please do not submit updates to dependencies unless it fixes an
issue. -->

<!-- Please try to limit your pull request to one type (bugfix, feature,
etc). Submit multiple pull requests if needed. -->

## What is the current behavior?
<!-- Please describe the current behavior that you are modifying. -->

Clicking the padded space within an `ion-item` will not pass the click
event to the slotted `ion-radio`, `ion-checkbox`, `ion-select` or
`ion-toggle`.

## What is the new behavior?
<!-- Please describe the behavior or changes that are being added by
this PR. -->

- The padded space at the start of `.item-native` and at the end of
`.item-inner` is clickable to activate a control.
- When the item is clicked, we check if the event is a result of
clicking the control or clicking the item's padded space. If the click
event is on the control, we don't need to do anything and let the
default behavior occur. If the click event is on the padded space, we
manually call the `.click()` method for the interactive element.
- The cursor pointer displays when hovering over the padded space when a
slotted interactive control is present.


## Does this introduce a breaking change?

- [ ] Yes
- [x] No

<!-- If this introduces a breaking change, please describe the impact
and migration path for existing applications below. -->
