2.1 regression: autoscale fails with maximized window

If the VLC window (Qt4) is maximized before the video playback starts, the video is shown in the top left corner (at 1:1 scale) instead of being adjusted to occupy most of the desktop.

I guess (not checked) that VLC tries to resize the window (for 100% zoom) and ignores the fact that resizing fails.

commit 22b6f35c Author: Rémi Denis-Courmont remi@remlab.net Date: Sat Jun 8 21:00:05 2013 +0300

x11: do not pretend that the video window was resized (refs [#8696](https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues/8696))

If the core requests a change of the size of the video window, and
the display plugin returns success, the display configuration stored in
the core goes out of synchronization with the X11 server. This results
in incorrect video placement.

Since it cannot be known if resize will succeed or not (at least not
without patching all window provider plugins to block and cross-check),
just return an error.
