TUI: resize windows to new terminal size before displaying them

If the user:

   #1 - disables the TUI
   #2 - resizes the terminal
   #3 - and then re-enables the TUI

the next wgetch() returns KEY_RESIZE.  This indicates to the ncurses
client that ncurses detected that the terminal has been resized.  We
don't handle KEY_RESIZE anywhere, so it gets passed on to readline
which interprets it as a multibyte character, and then the end result
is that the first key press after enabling the TUI is misinterpreted.

We shouldn't really need to handle KEY_RESIZE (and not all ncurses
implementations have that).  We have our own SIGWINCH handler, and,
when we re-enable the TUI, we explicitly detect terminal resizes and
resize all windows.  The reason ncurses currently does detects a
resize is that something within tui_enable forces a refresh/display of
some window before we get to do the actual resizing.  Setting a break
on ncurses' 'resizeterm' function helps find the culprit(s):

That is, tui_enable calls tui_set_key_mode before we've resized all
windows, and that refreshes a window as side effect.

And if we're already debugging something (there's a frame), then we'll
instead show a window from within tui_show_frame_info:

The fix is to resize windows earlier.
