We should automatically zoom the webview on Ctrl+scroll. We discovered in https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/epiphany/issues/184 that it's not possible to do this correctly at the browser level, and after repeated talks with the GTK+ developers it's clear that won't change. Disadvantage of handling it at the WebKit level is that the browser won't have control over the quantity of the zoom and won't be able to turn it off, but the advantage is we can apply the zoom only if websites choose not to handle the event themselves.
