with-display-message: Workaround for bug#63253
Running arbitrary ELisp code from an atimer is still dangerous, at least because the regexp engine is not-reentrant, so let's patch up the case we bumped into. There are probably many other such holes :-( * src/alloc.c (garbage_collection_inhibited): Make it non-static. * src/xdisp.c (garbage_collection_inhibited): Declare it. (set_message, clear_message): Use it as a proxy for "we're in a dangerous context like within `probably_quit`".
