Before proposing this change, I extensively tested it with small heights,
and I see that in case of small heights, display-buffer-below-selected
reuses a window that is below from the selected, that is a good behavior.  

A minimum height is defined by window-min-height, by default it's 4.
But for *Backtrace* maybe we should let-bind a larger value?
