[EuiDataGrid] Right-aligned clickable cell contents and cell actions are hard to use #5828

Description

@flash1293

If the content of a cell is both right aligned and clickable (e.g. a link), then the cell actions sliding in on hover make it hard to hit the link:

A straightforward solution to improve the issue in practice in a lot of cases is to change the alignment to left, but in situations like the one from the recording above with narrow columns it's easy for the popovers to cover the thing the user wants to click even for left aligned text.

A more complex solution might be to show the cell actions below/to the right of the actual cell in case of clickable content so they don't cover the very thing in the focus of the user.
