Growing is necessary in the case where the width of the new line(s)
exceeds the current 'display-line-number-width'. Of course that can
be worked around by setting 'display-line-number-width' to a
sufficiently large number, but I would like it to be no larger than what
it needs to be for the current text in the buffer.

Shrinking on the other hand is never necessary.

Sorry for being vague. What I meant was "the number of digits to display
the last line in the buffer".

For example, if the file has 10000 lines, then when visiting it
'display-line-number-width' should be immediately set to 5.
