Problem:  Exchanging windows with CTRL-W x or rotating them with CTRL-W r
          leaves a window with the status line height of the other one, so
          with 'statuslineopt' the windows in a row no longer line up.
Solution: Keep the total height of each window when the status line height
          is exchanged, and compute the height needed for the status line of
          each window afterwards.

To reproduce:

vim --clean +vsp +"setl stlo=fixedheight,maxheight:3"

Then CTRL-W x or CTRL-W r.
