Windows HorizontalList CollectionView has some weird space if cells are smaller than 88 dp

[unombun]

Description

On Windows just create a horizontal collection view. If the cell has a width smaller then ~88dp a space will appear until the next cell

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a MAUI App for Windows
2. Add a horizontal list CollectionView with items that are smaller than 88 dp.
3. The content of the cell will become smaller, but then a space until the next cell will appear. Somehow like there is a minimum cell width.

This affects CollectionViews in both directions equally - on my end it seems like Windows forces a Height of at least 40 for each entry in the CollectionView.

Tested in main branch and cannot reproduce the issue:

Could you try again with the latest version?

@samhouts Can you please confirm that this fix is working? I'm using 8.0.0-preview.7.8842 with the sample app given in #12495 and it still doesn't seem to work (result still has the red spacing as initially reported).
