Allow Shift-Up/Down line scrolling like other common terminals

Please include this functionality in vte's next release. Its desirable for
mouse free experience when the lines I am interested in are on page boundaries
and Shift-Pgup/pgdown doesn't help because I can't the interesting lines
together.

I have not tested this, but I does look sane. It is against a non-HEAD vte,
though, I think, but it should apply cleanly anyways.

N.B.: I would not emit the contents-changed signal in this case, nor in the
Ctrl+Page{Up,Down} case either, in which we are currently emitting it (basically
because I have things like bug 132173 in mind) Note that e.g.
vte_terminal_maybe_scroll_to_top, run by hitting Ctrl+Home, does not emit the
signal, so if we want the emission, we should add it there and in a couple more
of places.

Adding keywords.

I agree!

Please Sunil, do not post me-too comments on bugzilla. 
Let's keep the signal/noise ratio high!

Should this patch be applied? Is it really an enhancement or a bugfix?

This is an enhancement. 
Dupping to 118967, which is the same thing and also has a patch, essentially
equivalent.
