Fix "flickering" on NSscratch/ns/emacs27-drawing

* src/nsterm.m ([EmacsView initFrameFromEmacs:]): Add some settings
that allow the frame to redraw properly while resizing.
([EmacsView viewWillDraw]): Call redisplay if we think expose_frame is
going to refuse to draw anything.
([EmacsView drawRect:]): There's no point trying to draw anything if
the frame is still garbaged.
