What

Make selection autoscroll's speed depend on how far past the pane's edge the pointer is, so it is easy to stop on a line just past the edge and quick to cover a long scrollback further out.

Behavior

Just past the edge: about one row every 100 ms.
Rising to one row every 15 ms about five rows' height out, and no faster beyond that.
Distance is measured in cell heights, so the curve scales with the font size and the display scale rather than with pixels.
Each tick still scrolls exactly one row; only the interval between ticks changes.

Everything else is as in #20, which this builds on.
