Added configurations to reverse vertical and horizontal scrolling

Hi @hermes83

Thanks for your pull request.

One question, why adding a new set of features instead of following the system preferences? I mean the natural scroll preference here:

Did you find issues using the system settings? I'd prefer to use the system settings for simplicity and also for consistency with the Wayland session.

Hello @JoseExposito , you are absolutely right, setting the natural scrolling reverses the gesture but that setting is global to the whole system. For example, if you wanted to keep a classic scrolling for applications such as Firefox but you wanted to use natural scrolling for gestures, it would not currently be possible. It is true that coherence with wayland and at system level is lost, but by default the options would be off, they only give the user the possibility of choice. If you think they introduce confusion or are simply useless, no problem ☺️

I'd prefer to keep it simple and follow the system setting, having a different setting could be confusing.

Thank you very much for your PR though, I appreciate it.
