bug#23320: 25.0.92; Window width not updated after frame resize (Win32 and GTK)

Thanks for the report.  Just in due time to fix this for the release.
Moreover it allows me to remember the purpose of a change (something I
was unable to do in the discussion of bug#21380).  You can find the gory
details here:

http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=21380

The corresponding commit is:

    Don't call do_pending_window_change in signal handlers (Bug#21380)

    * src/gtkutil.c (xg_frame_resized):
    * src/xterm.c (x_set_window_size):
    * src/w32term.c (x_set_window_size): Don't call
    do_pending_window_change.

which should also explain why the NS port was not affected.

I'm not sure how to proceed.  Probably I'll have to revert that commit
but the consequences are pretty unclear at the moment (at least to me).
