methods: 1) always scrolling the text to the left until the line has ended and
then beginning again at the start, and 2) moving to the left until you can
read the end of the line and then scrolling right until you see the beginning
again. Rockbox chooses which method it should use depending of how much
it has to scroll to the left. This setting lets you tell Rockbox where that limit
is, expressed in percentage of the line length.
