bug#22637: 25.1.50; `mode-line` face `:height` incompatible with `scroll-conservatively 101`.

[Keith David Bershatsky <esq@lawlist.com>]

The same situation mentioned in my email earlier today (02/15/2016) is also present in the first test case that we looked at for #22637.   I.e., after an insertion in the first test case, the `window-scroll-functions` hook never fires after `window-start` is corrected.  So a user seeking to use the `window-scroll-functions` hook following a large insertion (e.g., a large yank, and so forth) is out of luck in that situation in terms of using a correct `window-start`.  I have already dealt with it for the `window-start-end-hook` by forcing a call every command loop thereby bypassing "optimization 3"; however, the WSF has no fix at this time.

The difference between the first and second test case is as follows:  The first test case deals with a straight insertion.  The second test case uses insertion merely to populate the buffer with some text so that we can then see what happens when using `goto-char`.  I commented out the two lines of `goto-char` in the `test` function below to replicate the first test case scenario.  The prior email is the second test case scenario.
