Show a message in locked frames in single-kboard mode
* src/keyboard.c (kbd_buffer_get_event): Pass the event's frame up to the caller by means of a new 'struct frame **' argument. (read_event_from_main_queue): Show a message in locked frames in single-kboard mode (bug#79892). * src/xdisp.c (log_message): Factor out of message3. (message3): Call it. (message3_nolog): Rename to ... (message3_frame_nolog): ... this. New 'struct frame *' argument which causes temporarily switching to another frame when displaying the message. (message3_frame, message3_nolog): New functions. * src/lisp.h: Declare message3_frame and message3_frame_nolog. * admin/notes/multi-tty: Remove notes on showing a message.

** The single-keyboard mode of MULTI_KBOARD is extremely confusing
sometimes; Emacs does not respond to stimuli from other keyboards.
- At least a beep or a message would be important, if the single-mode

Update: selecting a region with the mouse enables single_kboard
under X. This is very confusing.
Update: After discussions with Richard Stallman, this will be
- resolved by having locked displays warn the user to wait, and
- introducing a complex protocol to remotely bail out of

single-kboard mode by pressing C-g.
- Update: Warning the user is not trivial to implement, as Emacs has
- only one echo area, shared by all frames. Ideally the warning

- Perhaps the high probability of user confusion caused by

- Alternatively, it might be good enough to signal single_kboard mode
