Be able to have a mode-line for a standalone minibuffer frame.

Presumably this should be covered by the (undocumented) frame parameter
`modeline'.  But it seems that if you set its value to t for a
minibuffer-only frame, the parameter value ends up nil anyway.

You can set lots of frame parameters for a standalone minibuffer frame,
but apparently not this one.  Not even if you set it from the outset,
for `minibuffer-frame-alist'.
