[xfer] Send xfer_window_changed() after xfer_vredirect()

Modify the default action for xfer_vredirect() to automatically send
xfer_window_changed() messages to both the new child and the parent
interfaces.  This will allow the elimination of processes that simply
poll on xfer_window() to determine when a redirection has completed
successfully.
