bug#29233: Enable fringe cursor when *almost* exact_window_width_line_p |

The crux of the issue raised with #29233 is whether users might wish to see a
fringe bitmap instead of a partial width cursor when point is slightly less
than the exact window width. Whereas the patches relating to #16856 reduce the
width of the cursor so that it does not overflow into the fringe (creating
unwanted artifacts), there was nothing done to permit a fringe bitmap to be
placed there instead.
I had not given any consideration to the possibility that a partial width
cursor is "a feature". I.e., I erroneously assumed that a partial width cursor
was merely an attempt to avoid unwanted artifacts being drawn on the fringe.
I personally like to see fringe bitmaps when points is slightly less than the
exact widow width; however, I am uncertain how to reconcile that proposed
feature with the desire by others to see a partial width cursor without a
fringe bitmap.
If the consensus is that a user who has a window-width that is not an integral
multiple of frame's character width must give up the ability to see a fringe
bitmap, then that resolves #29233.
If the consensus is that a user does not have to give up seeing a fringe bitmap
in the above-mentioned circumstance, the question is when will the fringe
bitmap be seen and what modification would be appropriate in that circumstance.
