bug#59943: 30.0.50; ERC 5.5+: Add visual indicator to ERC keep-place

["J.P." <jp@neverwas.me>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 122 bytes --]

v2. Show indicator in server buffers (kind of annoying IMO). Don't
update indicator when buffer appears in active frame.

Subject: [PATCH 1/1] Add option to show visual erc-keep-place indicator

* etc/ERC-NEWS: Create new section for version 5.6 and mention
keep-place indicator.
* lisp/erc/erc-goodies.el (erc-keep-place-indicator,
erc-keep-place-indicator-follow): New options for anchoring kept place
visually.
(erc-keep-place-indicator-line, erc-keep-place-indicator-arrow): New
faces.
(erc--keep-place-overlay): New internal local state var.
(erc--keep-place-on-window-configuration-change): New function to
subscribe to `window-configuration-change-hook' and maybe update
keep-place indicator.
(erc--keep-place-setup-overlay): New function to initialize buffer for
option `erc-keep-place-indicator'.
(erc-keep-place-enable, erc-keep-place-disable): Add setup and
teardown to support `erc-keep-place-indicator'.
(erc-keep-place-move, erc-keep-place-goto): Add new commands for
manually updating and jumping to keep-place indicator.
(erc-keep-place): Move `erc--keep-place-overlay' when applicable.
