I counted ~100 occurrences of display_line_numbers in xdisp.c.
So I guess display_outlines could be added based on code
for display_line_numbers using the same strategy as
tab_line was added based on header_line.

If this is a good idea, I could look into doing this
after finishing all already opened issues, probably
around December.
