Added mouse_scroll_lines option#128

Hey, this looks good! I'm wondering when/why this is useful, could you maybe explain it? |

Hi. when you want to scroll up with your mouse long wall of text it helps to scroll a little faster. |
| default_cols = 104 | ||
| default_rows = 32 | ||
| scrollback = 2000 | ||
| mouse_scroll_lines = 3 |

Maybe we can rename this to mouse_scrollback? Just to align with the scrollback option above.

or scrollback_speed, or something like that. choose what you wish :)

I asked some LLM:
Examples: Alacritty uses scrolling.multiplier, kitty uses wheel_scroll_multiplier, Ghostty uses mouse-scroll-multiplier, WezTerm uses scrollback_lines for retained history.
• For this PR, I’d keep mouse_scroll_lines.
It’s better than both options you were considering:
- mouse_scrollback sounds like the size of the scrollback buffer, especially since ratty already has scrollback = 2000.
- mouse_speed is too broad and could mean cursor movement, sensitivity, selection speed, drag speed, etc.
- mouse_scroll_lines says exactly what the PR does: number of lines scrolled per mouse wheel tick.
If you want to align more with other terminal naming, mouse_scroll_multiplier is also defensible, but since the value is literally line count and the PR says “scrolls screen by 3 lines,”
mouse_scroll_lines is the clearest name for this implementation.
so yeah, I think it's all good to go :)
