Fix touch-enabled Chromium highlight on tree nodes

This commit resolves issues with the touch highlight behavior on tree
nodes in touch-enabled Chromium browsers (such as Google Chrome).

The fix addresses two issues:

1. Dual color transition issue during tapping actions on tree nodes.
2. Not highlighting full visible width of the node on keyboard focus.

Other changes include:

- Create `InteractableNode.vue` to centralize click styling and logic.
- Remove redundant click/hover/touch styling from `LeafTreeNode.vue` and
  `HierarchicalTreeNode.vue`.
