Vim 9.0 menu patch

EDIT:

This is only open for historical reasons and to make it easier to find.

This PR is a hotfix for the issue mentioned in #1321.
There is a problem in the early versions of Vim9 which prevents some parts of NERDTree from restoring their original size after a temporary window/pane resize. This patch forces a manual resize so deal with this issue.
I suggest you update your Vim if you are experiencing this problem instead of using this patch.

TL;DR Just update your Vim!

Description of Changes

Force resize after closing the menu to prevent issue #1321

I just went through this locally, and it seems to work for my Vim9 🎉

Tested locally, works for me on Neovim 0.8.0. Please merge ASAP, because having screen real estate eaten by this bug is annoying.

What are the actual blockers to getting this merged and released?

[igbanam]

I think someone just needs to click the merge button. From what I remember though, NERDTree has been looking to transition its maintainer for a while. I don't know how successful that process has been
