[ESS-bugs] ess-mode 5.3.2; a prompt appears in last line of special buffers

[Martin Maechler]

I've now fixed that buglet,
and prepared a bit for releasing 5.3.3.

- - - -

But I've also added a new feature:
In reading the code and trying things, I also came by
   'C-c C-t' (ess-execute) 
( or menu
   [ESS] -> [ESS eval] -> [Enter expression] )
which I found behaved a bit undesiredly for situations where I'd
like to keep *ess-output* as a separate frame.

--> I've introduced a variable ess-display-buffer-reuse-frames
    with default "true"
    which changes the default behavior of
    (ess-display-temp-buffer ..) , namely to "reuse existing frames".

I do think this change is an improvement,
but since it can  slightly change current behavior, I'm really
interested in feedback before I'd go ahead and release ESS 5.3.3
