Optimize tty display updates (bug#57727)

* src/dispnew.c (update_frame_1): Don'f flush if tty's
output_buffer_size is non-zero.
* src/sysdep.c (init_sys_modes): Setvbuf depending on the tty's
output_buffer_size.
* src/term.c (Ftty__set_output_buffer_size, Ftty__output_buffer_size):
Low-level interface for setting and retrieving a tty's output buffer
size.
(syms_of_term): Defsubr the new functions.
* src/termchar.h (struct tty_display_info): New member
output_buffer_size.
* stc/NEWS: Describe the change.
