Subject: [PATCH] scrolling: add a function and a key binding to center the
 cursor line

By default, this function is bound to ^L, to make that keystroke do
something actually useful.  To not lose the Refresh function that this
keystroke had, the centering function additionally does a full redraw
and refresh of the screen.
