bug#24213: 25.1.50; Fishy use of delete-window in register.el

[Andreas Politz <politza@hochschule-trier.de>]

I finally got around to this.  The changes in the following diff seem to
be all clear cut cases, where the window is created by
display-buffer/pop-to-buffer without any special window-handling logic
attached.  Let me know what you think.
