`dired-next-line' movement style (bug#65621)

Point will skips empty lines and optionally goto the other
end when encountering a boundary.
* lisp/dired.el (dired-movement-style): Control whether to
skip empty lines and whether to cycle through non-empty
lines.
* lisp/dired.el (dired-next-line): Add a new movement style
controlled by `dired-movement-style'.
* etc/NEWS (dired-movement-style):

*** New user option 'dired-movement-style'.
When non-nil, make 'dired-next-line' and 'dired-previous-line' skip
empty lines. It also controls how to move point when encountering a
boundary (e.g., if every line is visible, invoking 'dired-next-line'
at the last line will move to the first line).
