(struct PERDISPLAY): New member kbd_queue. Delete obsolescent members kbd_buffer_frame_or_window, kbd_buffer, kbd_fetch_ptr, kbd_store_ptr; these are regular vars again.

-       The interrupt-level event handlers will never enqueue an event on a
-       frame which is not in Vframe_list, and once an event is dequeued,
-       internal_last_event_frame or the event itself points to the frame.
-       So that's all fine.
-
-       But while the event is sitting in the queue, it's completely
-       unprotected.  Suppose the user types one command which will run for
-       a while and then delete a frame, and then types another event at
-       the frame that will be deleted, before the command gets around to
-       it.  Suppose there are no references to this frame elsewhere in
-       Emacs, and a GC occurs before the second event is dequeued.  Now we
-       have an event referring to a freed frame, which will crash Emacs
-       when it is dequeued.
-
-       Similar things happen when an event on a scroll bar is enqueued; the
-       window may be deleted while the event is in the queue.
-
-       So, we use this vector to protect the frame_or_window field in the
-       event queue.  That way, they'll be dequeued as dead frames or
-       windows, but still valid lisp objects.
