iOS: Gestures in vertical scrolling

[samuelclay]

I'd like to see two story-wide interactive gestures in vertical scrolling mode:

1. Swiping right takes you back to the story list. This should be interactive, like dragging on the left-mode edge.
2. Swiping left takes you to the next story, just as scrolling down beyond the bottom of the story would. We need a gesture to skip long stories.

For the swipe left gesture, that next story can look like it's being added to the stack. See the Inoreader iOS app and how it handles swiping to the next story. I think that's a clean look and means we don't need to build in new UI to handle that.

And it should be interactive.

I don't have that app, and couldn't find a video showing that; can you show a screen recording or other video? Fancy animations aren't my forte, but I can see what I can do.

I have a plan for this as part of the Catalyst improvements; see #817 for more info.

This is pretty much done in the Catalyst branch. I won't close it yet, as there may be some tweaks, but you can scroll between stories either horizontally or vertically, without needing to change any settings, so can be scrolling vertically then horizontally to skip a story.

This is now un-done. See #817 for commentary. I'll need to come up with another solution for this request. I have some ideas noted. I'll defer work on this till more important changes are done.
