Actually this stop us from duplicating Fdisplay_buffer in Lisp as a
function that is called via `display-buffer-function' from the C function
Fdisplay_buffer (because we can't add a new argument `frame' which will break
existing user functions called via `display-buffer-function'), but this
doesn't stop us from replacing the whole C function `Fdisplay_buffer' with
Lisp code.
