Fix flicker when resizing NS frame programmatically (bug#46155)

; Incidentally fixes bug#21326.

* src/nsterm.m ([EmacsView viewWillDraw]): New function.
([EmacsView viewDidResize:]): We now have to mark the frame for
display on resize.
([EmacsView initFrameFromEmacs:]): Retain frame contents on resize.
([EmacsView updateLayer]): Don't update the layer if the frame is
still garbaged.
