Make (many) trivial substitutions for renamed and new macros in dispextern.h, frame.h and window.h. (window_box_width): Adapt to per-window fringes and scroll bars, and new fringe vs. display margin position. Note that returned value is no longer guaranteed to be a whole multiple of the frame column width, since per-window fringes may now be any width. (window_box_left_offset): New function like window_box_left, but value is relative to left border of window (rather than frame). (window_box_right_offset): New function like window_box_right, but value is relative to left border of window. (window_box_left): Adapt to per-window fringes and scroll bars, and new fringe vs. display margin position. Simplify by using WINDOW_LEFT_EDGE_X and window_box_left_offset. (window_box): Allow null args for unnecessary return values; change/simplify relevant callers. (x_y_to_hpos_vpos): Adapt to per-window fringes and scroll bars, and new fringe vs. display margin position. Use window_box_left_offset and window_box_right_offset (get_glyph_string_clip_rect): Adapt to per-window fringes and scroll bars, and new fringe vs. display margin position. Use WINDOW_LEFT_EDGE_X and WINDOW_TOTAL_WIDTH. (draw_fringe_bitmap): Rework to handle per-window fringes and new fringe vs. display margin position. (hscroll_window_tree): Use window_box_width instead of window_box. (redisplay_window): Adapt to per-window scroll bars. (draw_glyphs): Rework to handle per-window fringes and scroll bars, and new fringe vs. display margin position. Use WINDOW_LEFT_EDGE_X, WINDOW_TOTAL_WIDTH, and window_box_left. (x_clear_end_of_line): Adapt to per-window fringes and scroll bars, and new fringe vs. display margin position. Fix bug which increased total width of full_width rows by width of scroll bars although window's total width already includes that. (x_fix_overlapping_area): Simplify using window_box_left_offset. (expose_area): Simplify using window_box_left_offset. (x_draw_vertical_border): Handle per-window scroll bar settings, mixing windows with left, right and no scroll bars.

@appendix Standard Errors

  Here is the complete list of the error symbols in standard Emacs,
grouped by concept.  The list includes each symbol's message (on the
@code{error-message} property of the symbol) and a cross reference to a
description of how the error can occur.

  Each error symbol has an @code{error-conditions} property that is a
list of symbols.  Normally this list includes the error symbol itself
and the symbol @code{error}.  Occasionally it includes additional
symbols, which are intermediate classifications, narrower than
@code{error} but broader than a single error symbol.  For example, all
the errors in accessing files have the condition @code{file-error}.  If
we do not say here that a certain error symbol has additional error
conditions, that means it has none.

  As a special exception, the error symbol @code{quit} does not have the
condition @code{error}, because quitting is not considered an error.

  @xref{Errors}, for an explanation of how errors are generated and
handled.
