Keyboard Scrolling in editors with Center or End VerticalTextAlignment is off

[tj-devel709]

Description

When you have a large Editor with the VerticalTextAlignment set to Center or End on iOS, both the keyboard scrolling inside KeyboardAutoManagerScroll and the MauiTextView.ShouldCenterVertically are working at the same time counterproductively to satisfy keeping the cursor above the keyboard and keeping the text aligned to the center or bottom. You'll see once the, editor's content is greater than the size of the editor, the MauiTextView.ShouldCenterVertically method will stop having effect and then just the KeyboardAutoManagerScroll will be keeping the cursor above the keyboard.

Also note that jumping in the editor when the text is clicked is undesirable behavior which starts with this PR: #24589
