fish's handling of terminal sizes is currently rather twisted. The
essential problem is that the terminal size may change at any point from a
SIGWINCH, and common_get_{width,height} may modify it and post variable
change events from arbitrary locations.
Tighten up the semantics. Assign responsibility for managing the tty size
to a new class, `termsize_container_t`. Rationalize locking and reentrancy.
Explicitly nail down the relationship between $COLUMNS/$LINES and the tty
size. The new semantics are: whatever changed most recently takes
precendence.
