'C-x 4 h' and 'C-x 5 h' are quite mnemonic and convenient to type.
What I tried to do is to adapt this to windmove to support a window
in any direction, but in any case they all could use the same
internal general function.

So this allow to support more commands than the currently limited set of
scroll-other-window, scroll-other-window-down, recenter-other-window,
beginning-of-buffer-other-window, end-of-buffer-other-window.
