I don't think this is going to work, for two reasons:

- for consistency with the existing C-x 4 C-o binding, C-x 4 p C-o
  should be bound to project-display-buffer, but C-x p C-o should not,
  so we cannot add the C-o binding to project-prefix-map, so another map
  is needed

- I suspect that by relying on switch-to-buffer-obey-display-actions,
  when you use project-display-buffer the other window will end up
  selected, which is not meant to happen.

Right, it's really complicated, so I wrote the patch as conservatively
as possible.
