FEATURE: When not in preview mode, make C-f and C-b scroll the sidebar

Hi.

NERDTree by default allows scrolling the sidebar page-wise, using C-f and C-b for 'forward-one-page' and 'backward-one-page' respectively. This is useful when you don't know what to search for in particular and are interested in visually inspecting a directory tree. At present the only way to do this with neo-tree is to use the j and k keys to go up and down beyond sidebar page widths which gets cumbersome for large directory trees.

I note that neo-tree has C-f and C-b bound to Preview scrolling actions.

Describe the solution you'd like.

It would be useful to have C-f and C-b perform:

1. Sidebar region scrolling when not in preview mode
2. Preview region scrolling when in preview mode

Describe alternatives you've considered.

As mentioned above, NERDTree has this feature.

Also as mentioned above, the use of the j and k keys is a cumbersome alternative.

Will be fixed by #1651, just need to figure out if it's a reasonable way to implement it.
