Permanently increase size of minibuffer / echo area

Hi list,

I'm trying to find a way to permanently increase the size of the
minibuffer / echo area, but so far, haven't been totally successful.

Through trial and error and a little help from an AI, I ended up with the
following:

```
(setq resize-mini-windows nil)

(run-with-timer 0.1 nil
                (lambda ()
                  (set-window-text-height (minibuffer-window) 2)))
```

I tried the same lambda in `window-setup-hook`, but that didn't work
reliably (it worked sometimes, but not always), and also a direct call to
`set-window-text-height`, but that didn't seem to work at all.

Despite this, the size of the minibuffer sometimes reverts to 1, especially
on Android, but also on Linux.

So I was wondering: is there a better way to make sure that the minibuffer
/ echo area is always at least 2 lines high, even when it's empty? Is there
perhaps even a "right" way to do it?

TIA

Joost
