Thanks!

And attached is what I came up today, with the help of a lot of coffee.
The changelog is a page worth of changelog entries, the diff is from
what I created these. As introductory text I'd use

  This changeset adds support for child frames on ttys.

  The redisplay part is complete.  The frame-handling part supports
  use-cases like Posframe, Corfu, and child frames acting like tooltips.
  Other use-cases of child frames are not currently supported.  In
  particular, trying to create minibuffer-only child frames on ttys will
  signal an error.
