[GNC] "Non-sticky" scroll bars in gnucash registers

[David Carlson]

I was not trying to assign any blame or credit for the new scrollbars.
IIRC I first saw one in a GTK3 application, and I was definitely upset by
not having a page up page down function on my mouse.  If you have not seen
that yet, you eventually will.
