This patch passed all my, admittedly limited, test cases.

In the patch, `make-frame-names-alist` returns only frames on the same display. I don't know if this is a behaviour change or to make it consistent with `next-frame` (the doc of `next-frame` doesn't mention displays -- might worth clarifying there if this is the behaviour).

Another minor/unimportant point (feel free to ignore) is that the patch also allows `make-frame-names-alist` to accept a FRAME argument. I think it would be more natural to return frames on the same display as the passed FRAME rather than the selected one.
