advice2020 created an issue (geany/geany#4379)

Not sure if this will make sense to anyone else but I am suggesting to add a 
setting that would allow user to choose the minimum amount of lines to show in 
a new or existing file.

So for example lets say this new setting was set to `20`
`Minimum amount of lines: 20`

`NEW DOCUMENT`
If a new file is create it would automatically open with `20` blank lines.

`EXISTING DOCUMENT - EXAMPLE 1`
If you had an existing document that was previously saved that had only `10` 
lines (blank or containing text) and you opened it with this setting activated, 
it would instead open with `20`, adding `10` new blank lines to the bottom of 
this file.

`EXISTING DOCUMENT - EXAMPLE 2`
Obviously if a file already contained more then the `minimum` line amount 
setting, then nothing would be changed in that document.

`EXISTING DOCUMENT - EXAMPLE 3`
However if a document did have more lines then the minimum line number.  Say in 
this example `25` lines.
Then if user was to try to delete more then `5` lines, then just the text would 
get delete but the blank lines would remain at the minimum which is `20` lines.


This setting of course would also have an `Off` setting or the "off" setting 
could be the number `1` which would match the current default.


I do not think anyone is going to consider adding something like this, but just 
something I would find useful.

Thank You
