Title: Implements "comics mode"

This is bacically my hack no.3, described here: http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2215362&postcount=618, but a bit improved, and implemented like a toggle. It's very useful for reading comics, so thus I called it comics mode.

When I read pdfs, I usually manually set bbox, and then use shift-s. Without this PR, it usually shows a pdf page on 2 screens: on 1st screen the top of the page is lined up with top of the screen. Then, when I press pg_fw, it displays second part of the page (which is usually 3 or 4 lines) at the top of the screen, with the rest of the screen gray. With this PR, when you press pg_fw it will display the 2nd screen with bottom of the page lined up with the bottom of the screen. The whole screen will be filled with the content of the page (most of it was on the 1st screen too). Of course, one can do this with panning, but I find reading it like this much more natural.

Shortcut key for comics mode is C.
