bug#16474: 24.3.50; `set-window-scroll-bars` has no effect after you set

emacs -Q

M-: (set-window-scroll-bars nil 0)

The scroll bar disappears.

M-: (window-scroll-bars) 

returns (0 0 nil nil)

M-: (set-window-scroll-bars nil 20)

has no visible effect.

M-: (window-scroll-bars) 

still returns (0 0 nil nil)

Toggling `scroll-bar-mode' any number of times also has no effect.

While I'm at it: a doc bug for `window-scroll-bars': There is no
description of any of these terms that are introduced, hence there
is no real description of the return-value: zero information, other
than it being a list of 4 elements):

WIDTH
COLS
VERTICAL-TYPE
HORIZONTAL-TYPE

For a function that *gets* some information, this doc string tells you
almost nothing about what that information is.
