line-number-display-width erroneously returns 0 when at the end of a very long line and `truncate-lines` is non-nil.

STEP #1:  Launch a current version of the master branch without any user configuration; i.e., emacs -q.

STEP #2:  (setq truncate-lines t)

STEP #3:  (display-line-numbers-mode 1)

STEP #4:  Create a long line that is about 3 times the width of the window.  With point at the end of that line, evaluate:

(line-number-display-width 'pixelwise)

The result returned is 0, which is incorrect.

BACKGROUND:  I am working on developing crosshairs as part of feature requests #17684 and #22873, and I need the line number display width (pixelwise) to accurately calculate when the horizontal ruler should begin to draw -- i.e., it.current_x + lnum_pixel_width = start drawing ...  I am also enabling compatibility with the fnctions scroll-right and scroll-left, and when horizontal scrolling the current line.

Thanks,

Keith

More accurately, when the first line visible in the window is
completely hscrolled out of view.

Thanks, fixed on the release branch.
