Add dynamic expanding the shown list of results as the user scrolls #12

It would be nice if we could increase the displayed results as the user
scrolls down. 

I first heard about this technique in a tech talk by Aza Raskin
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuELwq2ThJE). At around 22mins he talks
about "the river of news". 

Google reader does something similar for loading additional items as you
get near the bottom of what is currently shown.

Motivation: reduce clunkiness and number of clicks required from users, but
still allowing us to show a smaller number of search results initially.

Difficulties: how to deal with different categories of results
(packages/classes).

I'm assigning this to v2, because most other issues for that release deal with 
usability.

We could have just one list of results in the style of java.manabase.com. 
Something like:

java.lang
  Iterable [interface]
  Math [class]
  Override [annotation]
java.util
  AbstractList [class]
  Formatter.BigDecimalLayoutForm [enum]
  SortedSet [interface]
