Fix some problems with moving and resizing child frames
(1) Provide new option 'x-gtk-resize-child-frames' which allows
to either hide a child frame during resizing or asks GTK to
resize it "immediately". This is needed because desktops like
GNOME shell otherwise won't allow resizing child frames at all.
(2) Do not try to synchronize the position of a child frame
after moving it. Needed because the present implementation
introduces a 0.5 secs delay which makes dragging child frames
virtually impossible with Lucid and Motif toolkits on desktops
like GNOME shell that use invisible outer frame borders.

Don't signal during backtrace unrewind (Bug#40088)
backtrace_eval_unrewind is used to temporarily reverse
let-bindings (it's called with a positive argument to reverse
bindings, and then a negative argument to re-apply them) by
backtrace--locals and backtrace-eval. For the SPECPDL_LET_DEFAULT and
SPECPDL_LET_LOCAL cases (which occur for let-bindings on buffer-local
variables), the code calls Fdefault_value and Fbuffer_local_value on
the symbol.
For symbols which are unbound at top-level, the first (with positive
argument) call to backtrace_eval_unrewind will set the symbol's value
to unbound (putting the current value in the specpdl's "old value"
slot). On the second (with negative argument) call,
backtrace_eval_unrewind attempts to retrieve the symbol's value with
Fdefault_value or Fbuffer_local_value, but that raises a void-variable
signal. This interrupts the restoration of the let-bindings, so any
other variables more recent on the stack will now have the wrong
value.
