Feature Request: Add horizontal scrolling text for long messages instead of truncating it

[JayBeeDe]

Instead of ellipsizing or word-wrapping long body texts (body => "%b" from the notification format), there should be a way to configure horizontal scrolling like old LCD:

Add the 3 following settings to the global section:

• horizontal_scroll (values: [true/false], default: false)
  The following condition must be met in order to enable this feature: horizontal_scroll=true and word_wrap=false
  (horizontal_scroll=false and word_wrap=false means that text will ellipsize)
• horizontal_scroll_direction (values: [right_to_left/left_to_right], default: right_to_left)
• horizontal_scroll_speed: (values: [auto/fast/normal/slow], default: auto)
  auto means text will adapt speed according notification urgency timeout and number of characters to display all the body message, whereas fast/normal/slow will display on a fixed speed, no matter if enough time before timeout to display all the body message

I'm sure this would work for titles, but how about multiline bodies? Isn't vertical scrolling better for that?

Multi-line bodies + scrolling feature is not possible since scrolling feature requires horizontal_scroll=true and word_wrap=false

I like the idea however at the moment dunst doesn't support animations so we won't be able to implement this soon
