improve scroll region function#159
Conversation
fixes scrolling background colour issue - the new area of screen will now always be filled with the current text background colour also adds support for movement directions 4-7, which move dependent upon the currently set cursor behaviour bits (see VDU 23,16) adds support for movement amount of 0, to indicate move by 1 character in the given direction (as per Acorn’s implementation)

Acorn's version of this command supports directions 4-7, whose behaviour varies depending on the current cursorBehaviour variable, as set via VDU 23,16
since we have partial support for cursorBehaviour it makes some sense to implement these values

Acorn's version of this command differs to ours with respect to how the movement value is interpreted. they only support 0 and 1, where 0 indicates movement by a single character, and 1 by a single byte (which means a variable number of pixels depending on screen mode). values greater than 1 are treated as if they were 1
our version treats the movement value as a number of pixels. this adds in support for 0 to indicate "whole character", which gives us slightly better compatibility with Acorn's version
