Issue 844: Please add support for mouse wheel events!

Reported by strmer15, Mar 23, 2007
Found in GWT Release: 1.3.3

Detailed description:

I think GWT should have support for mouse wheel events - the Event class
should be modified to contain a new enumeration value for the mouse wheel
and support added to the respective DOM implementations to achieve this.

There should be a way to capture the event, but also a way to get the delta
value for the scroll wheel from the Event object.

Workaround if you have one:

Create JSNI methods to attach the mouse wheel event to a widget - not hard
to do, but GWT was made just so that developers shouldn't have to do this!

Current decision is to use a MouseWheelVelocity container to support the future
addition of X-axis scrolling and to normalize the velocity.  knorton has been
handling review/feedback so far.
