     Add ScrollType BOTTOM and TOGGLE for BufferView::scrollToCursor()
BOTTOM shows the paragraph containing the cursor at the bottom of the
     work area.
TOGGLE does CENTER, then TOP, BOTTOM and finally cycles to CENTER.
     This is a feature copied from emacs's C-l binding.
Add new argument "caret" to lfun "scroll" that can be used like
       scroll caret center
Change the keys (either C-l, M-l or F5) bound to screen-recenter to
     "scroll caret toggle".
As an experiment, change paragraph-goto to use this scrolling method.
     This can be tested when going to a heading in the outline pane.

Dear all,

These two last changes are the whole point of this commit, and part of the motivation of my recent work on scrolling. This is stolen from emacs: the binding F5 (cua), M-l (mac) or C-l (emacs) now puts caret at center as expected, but, when repeated, it now goes to top and then bottom.

This a very good tool IMO to see the context around an element. I use it for code.

Then, I changed the outline to yield the same effect. I expect some of you to hate it, but discussion is good and this is not the final design. Again, clicking several times on an element shows what is below it, around it, and so forth.

I also noticed several weird things:

* when aligning to top, only the top level paragraph is taken into account. If I have a large branch with headings in it, the code will try to show the branch in full and otherwise the heading will be at the bottom. What's the point of doing that?

* the same happens with an equation in a possibly large paragraph. The priority is to put the paragraph first.

* there is some ad-hoc code that adds twice the height of a typical row before the paragraph. In passing, this means that a tall row (Chapter) will be barely shown completely. I remember that changing that has met resistance and I had to revert it. How is this useful to you?
