NOTE: This feature is addition to #1066

Summary of the new feature/enhancement

Scrolling with (precision) touchpad is very convenient but only if application responds to scroll event instantly. This can be observed in Microsoft Edge, vscode, JetBrains IDEs (Smooth Scrolling option).

I think that Windows Terminal should have option to enable scrolling not line by line but pixel by pixel.
