editor: Add MoveUpByLines and MoveDownByLines actions (#7208)

This adds four new actions:

- `editor::MoveUpByLines`
- `editor::MoveDownByLines`
- `editor::SelectUpByLines`
- `editor::SelectDownByLines`

They all take a count by which to move the cursor up and down.

Example `keymap.json` entries:

```json
{
  "context": "Editor",
  "bindings": [
    "alt-up":         [ "editor::MoveUpByLines",     { "lines": 3 } ],
    "alt-down":       [ "editor::MoveDownByLines",   { "lines": 3 } ],
    "alt-shift-up":   [ "editor::SelectUpByLines",   { "lines": 3 } ],
    "alt-shift-down": [ "editor::SelectDownByLines", { "lines": 3 } ]
  ]
}
```

They are *not* bound by default, so as to not conflict with the
`alt-up/down` bindings that already exist.

Release Notes:

- Added four new actions: `editor::MoveUpByLines`,
`editor::MoveDownByLines`, `editor::SelectUpByLines`,
`editor::SelectDownByLines` that can take a line count configuration and
move the cursor up by the count.
