Provide smoother scrolling in response to mouse wheel events
Instead of delivering the events when wheelDelta reaches 120, make this threshold a Preference (minimumWheelDelta)
Reminder: 120 represents a single notch for traditional mouse wheel with notches, but trackpads can deliver much smaller deltas
Rather than accumulating the wheelDeltas into MouseWheelState, do it when we #generateMouseWheelEvent: Indeed, small deltas will come in packets of successive events, and it's more efficient to regroup then, exactly like we do with mouse trails...
Also MouseWheelState did ignore time outs (long delays between deltas) and other state changes (buttons/modifiers), which was not ideal.
Directly get those states from the raw eventBuffer, like any other mouse event. This requires integration of tose 2 PR: https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/pull/461 for Windows https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/pull/462 for OSX and linux
Honour larger wheelDeltas too in ScrollPane>>#mouseWheel: event handling Honour horizontal mouse wheels too in ScrollPane Note that the scroll pane still won't deliver sub-scrollDeltaWidth/scrollDeltaHeight with those changes, the number of scroll deltas is still rounded to 1.
With patched VM, and following settings, I get a reasonnable scrolling experience on OSX:
HandMorph minimumWheelDelta: 20. Smalltalk sendMouseWheelEvents: true.
NOTE: it is tricky to add/remove inst. var. to such HandMorph because obsolete CompiledMethod pointing to old inst. var. offset are still active on the stack and can mess things up (unless you do not load the package from UI but rather from command line...).
Since accessing 'lastMouseEvent' in such obsolete CompiledMethod is causing grief, preserve its offset by swapping inst. var. order with 'targetOffset' which is less likely used.
