Run scroll/recenter commands from minibuffer in original window (bug#38076)

* lisp/minibuffer.el (with-minibuffer-selected-window): New macro.
(minibuffer-recenter-top-bottom, minibuffer-scroll-up-command)
(minibuffer-scroll-down-command, minibuffer-scroll-other-window):
(minibuffer-scroll-other-window-down): New commands.
(minibuffer-local-map): Remap recenter/scroll symbols to their
minibuffer wrappers: recenter-top-bottom to minibuffer-recenter-top-bottom.

* src/window.c (Fother_window_for_scrolling): Use 'lambda' value for
MINIBUF arg of Fnext_window, so minibuffer-scroll-other-window and
minibuffer-scroll-other-window-down doesn't try to scroll the
minibuffer window.
