[Tabs] Make header pagination scroll faster

[anisabboud]

Feature Description

Consider the following example:
Browsing a page with 6 tabs on mobile (only 3 fit at a time).
To get to tab 6, you have to click the pagination arrow 3 times.
That's pretty slow. I would expect one click to show tabs 4, 5, 6.
You can try this on the first official example (add some tabs in StackBlitz).

Use Case

Making the app more convenient on mobile.

More info

The scrolling is handled in _scrollHeader() method in paginated-tab-header.ts:
"Move the scroll distance one-third the length of the tab list's viewport."
The simplest solution would be replacing viewLength / 3 with viewLength or viewLength * 3 / 4.
Another option is to make this fraction configurable through an @Input similarly to animationDuration.

Any update? I need this enhancement too!
