Updating the map view when selecting nodes that are not in the visible screen area - [Key (F) - Follow a line or area]

[sun-geo]

Description

Starting from version 2.20.2 the follow (F) function (https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md#2202 https://github.com/openstreetmap/iD/pull/8671) was implemented, which seems nice and handy for landuse area mapping.

I noticed sometime a upcoming node is outside of the visible screen area.

I would would be happy that this operator would slightly modified to bring the map area to centre view after nodes are used from outer screen space.

This issue is a duplicate of #3250.

I think #3250 is slightly different, as for the follow operation, the current behavior that the shortcut can extend the line (far) beyond the current map viewport is more like a bug / usability issue. #3250 is more about the general behavior while mapping.
