I forgot about Container::border-width which is another example of
this. It might have the same two possible solutions: virtualize
"add/remove padding" (cleaning up subclasses in the process) and make
border-width additive with Widget padding, or just make border-width
set the new widget padding props. In either case when porting
Container subclasses, all border-width knowledge could be deleted from
the subclass.

border-width of course is yet another redundant padding API that could
be deprecated.
