This is not about restoring the frame size & position, is about
knowing whether it intersects with some monitor.

Some people want for desktop-restore-frames to move on-screen frames
that are wholly off-screen. The only way to know the screen dimensions
is via `frame-monitor-attributes', which answers in pixels. Without
the real, window manager style physical size of a frame in pixels, all
we can do is crude heuristics.

Which is a way to say, we won't jump through complex hoops to fix it.
Fine. I'm trying all the simple ones first, because big or not, it's
still a problem. Restoring "one or two lines more or less" is not a
big failure, but it is also not a good result for code whose only
purpose is to restore frames' sizes and positions.
