bug#27997: pick a better buffer to fill the gap, not one I already see |

OK I killed a buffer, so a new one pops in to replace it.
Except sometimes the choice of the new one is quite embarrassing: it
picks a buffer I'm already looking at while at the same time ignoring a
better candidate.
$ emacs -Q /tmp/a /tmp/b /tmp/c
C-x 1 [delete-other-windows]
C-x 4 b [switch-to-buffer-other-window] # Smart enough not to prompt with the
name of a buffer I already see. Good.
<return> [minibuffer-complete-and-exit] # was prompted with "b", OK
C-x k [kill-buffer] # was prompted with "b", OK
<return> [minibuffer-complete-and-exit] # killed "b", OK, but...
Now I'm staring at two "c" buffers!
I would be better served by staring at "a" and "c" buffers.
So please when selecting a buffer to fill the gap,
again be smart enough not to show a buffer I already see.
