[Bug 1298620] [NEW] unity: enable natural scrolling by default

 

Public bug reported:

Testing trusty desktop on a laptop, natural scrolling is off by default.
In this day and age, this makes no sense; ios and Android have
conditioned users to understand that when they want to scroll a
document, they touch it and drag it in the direction they want it to go.
The option can be changed by the user, but it's important to have the
default that gives the best initial impression to the user.
