bug#28346: 24.5; Emacs hangs when terminal becomes smaller than set margin

[yorwba]

This bug only appears when Emacs is run in a terminal emulator that
allows changing the window size.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Run `emacs -nw -Q` in a small terminal window
2. Evaluate (setq width (window-width (get-buffer-window (current-buffer))))
   The value is 74 in my case.
3. Enlarge the terminal window (I go fullscreen with 150 columns).
4. Evaluate (set-window-margins (get-buffer-window (current-buffer)) 0 width)
5. Resize the terminal emulator window back to the original size (or smaller).
6. The terminal goes blank and no longer reacts to input.

Attaching gdb and using finish to end all terminating functions, I found that
it gets stuck in move_it_vertically_backwards (in xdisp.c). It keeps taking
the goto move_further_back without actually moving further back.

I believe that this is caused by incorrectly adjusting the margins when the
total available width changes.

What I see in GDB:

(gdb) p *it->w

  left_col = 0, top_line = 1, pixel_width = 74, pixel_height = 40, total_cols =

(gdb) p *it->w->current_matrix
$3 = {pool = 0xbaaca0, rows = 0xc757b0, rows_allocated = 60, nrows = 40,

  window_pixel_left = 0, window_pixel_top = 1, window_height = 39, window_width

  right_margin_glyphs = 36, no_scrolling_p = false, header_line_p = false, 
buffer = 0xbd8130, begv = 1, zv = 322}
(gdb) p *it->w->desired_matrix
$4 = {pool = 0xbaabd0, rows = 0xc64800, rows_allocated = 60, nrows = 40, 
matrix_x = 0, matrix_y = 1, matrix_w = 74, matrix_h = 40, 
  window_pixel_left = 0, window_pixel_top = 1, window_height = 39, window_width

  right_margin_glyphs = 36, no_scrolling_p = false, header_line_p = false, 
buffer = 0x0, begv = 0, zv = 0}

Notice that current_matrix and desired_matrix both have window_width = 74 and 
right_margin_glyphs = 36,
but the window itself has total_cols = 74 and right_margin_cols = 74.

I hope that's enough info to reproduce and fix this issue.
