  Nuke NO_WHEEL_MOUSE macro and alternate g_WM_MOUSEWHEEL message

Those hacks were workaround for lack of support of mouse wheel events in the 90s from M$ OSes.
I'm glad to remind that it's 2020 in a few days, not 1999 anymore, so YAGNI.
We do not support those OS for quite some time, and we should stop bothering.
See https://devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20080806-00/?p=21353 for a bit of history

  -----------
  Move WM_MOUSEWHEEL message handling as a regular case

Now that we simplified the obsolete logic, there no reason to handle this message differently from others

  Log Message:
  -----------
  Use GET_X_LPARAM to decode mouse coordinates from WM_MOUSE messages

as recommended here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/inputdev/wm-mousemove
`(int)(short) LOWORD(lParam)` is OK, but `LOWORD(lParam)` is not because position can be signed in case of multi-monitor

  Log Message:
  -----------
  Implement mousewheel events if sendWheelEvents is true (non zero)

Note that this VM parameter is saved in the image and controlled via `Smalltalk sendMouseWheelEvents: true.`

WARNING: unlike Unix and OSX, fill both `buttons` and `modifiers` fields of the event structure.
Unix and OSX only fill `buttons` field with modifiers states! (???) I'd rather change the others.

Note: with my MacBook trackpad, there are many events generated with small scroll deltas (not multiple of 120, but down to 1 unit...)
I don't know why, but it gives sluggish scroll behavior, which does not happen when we emulate via arrow keys.

  Log Message:
  -----------
  Deliver mouse wheel events only once they reach a threshold

On some devices (example Mac trackpad), many events are generated with small deltas.
This is overwhelming the EventSensor loop at image side to the detriment of user experience.
Workaround by letting the VM accumulate those deltas until they reach a threshold before delivering.

In case of high delta values, we generate a single value.
It's up to image side to handle those values
(until now, Squeak 5.3 just ignored them, VM is not to be blamed for that).

Note: 2 values are hardcoded for now
- the timeout for stopping accumulation (500ms)
- the threshold for delivering the event to the image.

The threshold could have been WHEEL_DELTA, but it gives bad sensitivity on my own device, so use only a fraction of that in the hope that it fits other devices too.
Please report if those tuning are inappropriate. We may add parameters in the future if necessary...
