fix: don't make wheel events passive by default (#13322)

This was done previously to align with browser behavior, but the browser behavior actually only makes them passive on window/document/body. Since wheel events are not delegated, we can revert their passive-by-default setting. Closes #13318

For touchstart/touchmove we're not changing it because these events are delegated, which means they happen a lot more often on a target higher up the tree, which may cause jank.

 Timing-wise, event attributes always fire after events from bindings (e.g. `oninput` always fires after an update to `bind:value`). Under the hood, some event handlers are attached directly with `addEventListener`, while others are _delegated_.
 
-When using `onwheel`, `onmousewheel`, `ontouchstart` and `ontouchmove` event attributes, the handlers are [passive](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/EventTarget/addEventListener#using_passive_listeners) to align with browser defaults. This greatly improves responsiveness by allowing the browser to scroll the document immediately, rather than waiting to see if the event handler calls `event.preventDefault()`.

 In the very rare cases that you need to prevent these event defaults, you should use [`on`](https://svelte-5-preview.vercel.app/docs/imports#svelte-events) instead (for example inside an action).
