vertical scroll bar should disappear if everything is displayed

[Drew Adams]

On most applications, scroll bars appear only when there is text to
scroll - that is, they appear only when needed. Emacs should behave
normally in this regard.

In a buffer whose text does not fill the full window vertically, the
vertical scroll bar should disappear. It does not, at least on
Windows. This is annoying and a waste of screen real estate.

Similarly, there should be the possibility (via an option) of having a
horizontal scroll bar appear when text would otherwise wrap or be
truncated, as an alternative to, for example, fringe. When lines are
displayed completely, with no wrapping or truncation, then the
horizontal scroll bar should disappear.

This is standard behavior in most apps, and it is more comfortable for
the user. At the least, users should be able to choose this more
common behavior.
