Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Enable touch screen based scrolling in kitty. This would make kitty more usable with touch screen enabled devices, particularly touch screen enabled laptops and tablets.

Describe the solution you'd like
Two finger gesture scrolling would be preferable, but if that's too much to implement, then any touch based scrolling would be better than nothing. I think the KDE terminal Konsole now supports single finger touch and drag based scrolling now.

Describe alternatives you've considered
The alternative is to find a different means of scrolling. This is fine on a laptop which generally sports a trackpad and keyboard, but with tablets it's particularly inconvenient.

Additional context
In my case I'm using KDE and Wayland, so those are the environments I'm personally interested in it working under, but of course I'd like to see this functionality where ever possible.

This is not something I am interested in, but patches are welcome. You
would need to add touch support to glfw first.
