Subject: [PATCH] New function for scroll-lock to almost always scroll

* lisp/scroll-lock.el (scroll-lock-next-line-always-scroll): New
  function.  Opposed to scroll-lock-next-line it does not switch to
  forward-line at eob.  S-down is the default key binding for this
  function.
* test/lisp/scroll-lock-tests.el: A few tests for
  scroll-lock-next-line-always-scroll.
* etc/NEWS: Add a respective note.
