[8.16] Backport rowHeightOption: auto EuiDataGrid fix

[weronikaolejniczak]

Summary

Fix for elastic/eui#8245

Backporting af189da to 8.16 Kibana version. It was introduced on elastic/eui#8251.

The npm backport release: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@elastic/eui/v/97.0.0-backport.3

Checklist

The issue being backported, elastic/eui#8245, is intermittent. You cannot consistently reproduce it on OSX, apparently it's reproducible on Windows. I'd appreciate a manual test from the reviewers 🙏🏻

The steps to reproduce in 8.16 are:

1. Go to Security > Alerts.
2. In the data grid, set the view from "Grid view" to "Event rendered view".
3. Choose the settings icon, in the picker choose "Auto fit" in Row height.

The data grid's height changes to 0. It's reproducible on first load.

we might have another issue with the auto row height, blocking this until we talk through it

Testing it in following browser. Looks good from my side but I will wait to see what @kqualters-elastic has encountered

• Firefox
• Chrome
• Edge ( Chromium Based )
• Brave ( Chromium Based )
• Safari

@kqualters-elastic I will update the PR with the suggestion from @jbudz just in case we proceed with the release.

I think I know what Kevin might have encountered. But let's wait for more details. As I mentioned in 8.17 backport, I am seeing the same error in this backport as well.

The error surfaces when the height of the complete table and row are both auto.
In security Solution, whenever the number of items in Alert table is below 20, we set the table height as auto which results in this wierd error.
