I provided 'display-line-number-width' to cater to the desire of not
shrinking the width too much, and it seemed to me that if someone's
ideal is not to change the width at all, as Alex said up-thread,
counting the lines at the beginning will do that for him.

I wanted to avoid using a buffer-local variable settable by the
display engine. (I cannot easily use display-line-number-width,
because that's a user-settable option; I need another variable.)
