Keep cursor at top/bottom when navigating by page (#5019)

When pressing '.' (next page) or ',' (previous page), the selection now
stays at the bottom or top of the viewport respectively, instead of
being centered which caused items to scroll off. (If the selection is
not already on the last/first line of the view, '.'/',' moves it there
without scrolling.)

This implements a special case for page navigation as suggested by the
maintainer in issue #5017, keeping the cursor position consistent with
user expectations for page-based navigation.

Fixes #5017
