bug#62592: Not creating new Tabs with small window

[Claudio Grondi]

1. ~ $ emacs -Q
2. Menu -> Options -> Show/Hide -> Tab Bar (gives Tab*scratch*)
3. resize the Emacs window to a small one, but large enough to show some Tab 
labels
3. 1x click on rightmost * in the Tab Bar to create a new Tab

The bug: No new Tab will be created and the minibuf and*Messages*  show:

   split-window: Window #<window 3 on*Messages*> too small for splitting
