[feature] Add user configuration for org-mode specfic S-[arrow] bindings

This commit adds a function that a Prelude user can add to their
personal configs that, if called, will set org-mode specific S-[arrow key]
functionality in org-mode buffers instead of the default windmove
keybindings.

Windmove keybindings should work in all other buffers.

Fixes bbatsov#1364

Alternative to bbatsov#1427

+- [PR 1443] (https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude/pull/1443): Add user configuration for `org-mode` specfic `S-[arrow]` bindings.
 - [PR 1432](https://github.com/bbatsov/prelude/pull/1432): Allow directories of custom Emacs Lisp files in `personal/preload`.
 - Enable `org-habits`.
 - Neatly track `TODO` state changes in a drawer (LOGBOOK), thereby improving readability.
