bug#32720: term-mode ignores certain window size changes

[Gary Fredericks]

I'm sorry, I forgot that code was there -- I had already disabled in when I ran these tests, so you can disregard it.

C-x b for me starts an ido buffer selector. I forgot that wasn't a default either.

So the buffer selector did not work -- it would show me a list of other buffers (in the minibuffer), but I couldn't select one with RET -- it would end up just creating a new buffer whose (very long) name was the list of buffer names that ido showed.

The only things related to my patch should be

(defun window-size-change-function-for-bug-32720 (_frame)
   (window--adjust-process-windows))

and its activation in 'term-load-hook'.  Would removing these change
something in the behavior you observe?

Shouldn't C-x b create such a buffer if it does not exist yet?  What
precisely did you want it to do?
