bug#373: scroll-up, scroll-down don't respect current column

[jidanni]

The nerve of scroll-up and scroll-down, always putting the cursor back
in column 0 no matter what column we were in. There should be a
variable to control this, documented in scroll-up and scroll-down's
docstrings. Same with scroll-*-*mark.

Test in a buffer made with (compile "yes 01234567|sed 333q").

bug#373: marked as done (scroll-up, scroll-down don't respect current column)

As luck would have it, I installed a few days ago a change that
preserves the column position (if you set
scroll-preserve-screen-position).
