Bug#819712: gnome-terminal: window doesn't resize itself when using Gtk 3.20

[Simon McVittie]

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.20.0-1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream patch
Forwarded: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=760944

Since upgrading to gnome-terminal 3.20 and Gtk 3.20, nothing I do within
Terminal resizes the window: Ctrl-plus, Ctrl-minus, and the 80x24, 80x43,
etc. menu options do not trigger a resize.

This is particularly annoying if you are running something that assumes 80x24
and breaks its layout in differently-sized terminals, such as vi in
a serial console (with no way to pass SIGWINCH through the serial line).

There was a partial patch upstream already; I've added the missing bit.
