bug#23252: 24.5; message-mode: "Show Hidden Headers" doesn't redisplay headers

[David Bremner]

1) emacs -Q
2) M-x message-mail
3) Add a header that will be hidden by default, I tested with
"References: <foo@example.com>"
4) Evaluate "(message-hide-headers)" in the message-mode buffer.
5) Now run C-x n w (or select "Show hidden headers" from the Field menu)
6) Observe no visible change
7) Run M-x message-sort-headers (C-c C-o)
8) Observe your hidden header is now shown.

bug#23252: it's there, just off the top of the screen

[David Bremner]

A kind soul on freenode pointed out that the References header is there,
but off the top of the window. I guess that's not necessarily a bug for
widen, but perhaps "Show hidden headers" in message mode should be bound
to a function that does some redisplay / or recentering after widening.

Yup.  I've now made this change in Emacs 27.
