I now tried to document everything I wrote so far.  The attached patch
also differs from the preceding ones in the following regards:

- 'display-buffer-reuse-window' calls 'display-buffer--lru-window' with
  suitable arguments.  This has the benefit that it honors the new
  minimum size entries as well which makes the documentation simpler.
  It has the disadvantage that if I didn't guess those arguments
  correctly, the default behavior of 'display-buffer-use-some-window'
  might change wrt previous versions.

- 'window-bump-use-time' was rewritten taking into account some of the
  issues I mentioned in my last posting.

- A 'bump-use-time' action alist entry has been added.

I'm not sure whether these changes should be made on the release branch.
IMO a suitable minimal change for the release branch would be to remove
all references to 'display-buffer-avoid-small-windows' and leave
'display-buffer-use-least-recent-window' and 'window-bump-use-time'
untouched.  The latter are here since Emacs 28, so there's a good excuse
for leaving them alone.

In either case note that I don't synch with Savannah so someone else
would have to apply these changes.
