terminal: Make `alternate_scroll` on by default (#27302)

Most terminal emulators, like macOS Terminal, Alacritty, and Ghostty,
have alternate scroll turned on by default. I think it makes sense for
the Zed terminal to do the same and make it more of an opt-out feature.

- Description: Set whether Alternate Scroll mode (DECSET code: `?1007`) is active by default. Alternate Scroll mode converts mouse scroll events into up / down key presses when in the alternate screen (e.g. when running applications like vim or less). The terminal can still set and unset this mode with ANSI escape codes.
