Subject: [PATCH] statusbar: on a one-row terminal, drop light messages after a
 few moments

Only important error messages (ALERT) and information that the user
requested (^C, M-D) should stay put until the next keystroke.  Other
messages should be overwritten by the text of the buffer after just
a few moments, to make a one-row terminal slightly more friendly.

This addresses https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?60570.
