If and when the change of the frame size is propagated to the frame's
windows, then with Emacs 26 `window-size-change-functions' should catch
them all.  With earlier Emacsen you might have to consult
`window-configuration-change-hook' as well.  And maybe some size changes
will not even be noticed.

Note that `window-size-change-functions' is also called when the
relative sizes of windows change.  So you have to store the previous
frame size and compare it with the current one to find out whether the
frame really changed size or only some of its windows.

Also note that size changes that do not affect the inner frame (like
adding or removing the menu or tool bar or a border) might not be
tracked at all.

In any case I'll have to add an appropriate link to the Elisp manual.
