I think 'display-buffer-at-bottom' should be still available via
'display-buffer--action-function-custom-type' so I think we cannot
make it obsolete.  Also I didn't add 'display-buffer-in-direction'
there because we should decide first on how to proceed with it.

The former (it's a three liner).  But maybe some work remains wrt
action arguments like 'window-min-height', 'window-height' and
friends.  I doubt that you have already exhausted all possibilities.
