patch 8.0.1072: :highlight command causes a redraw even when nothing changed

commit https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/99433291b135094d9592c41f96d3ccd60073e2c1
Author: Bram Moolenaar <Bram@vim.org>
Date:   Fri Sep 8 12:37:47 2017 +0200

    patch 8.0.1072: :highlight command causes a redraw even when nothing changed

    Problem:    The :highlight command causes a redraw even when nothing changed.
    Solution:   Only set "need_highlight_changed" when an attribute changed.
