Add an action to restore the last closed pane or tab. When all you have is restoring last sessions everything looks like a std::vector<ActionAndArgs>.

Detailed Description of the Pull Request / Additional comments

  • Keep a buffer of panes/tabs that were closed recently in the form of a list
    of actions to remake it.
  • To restore the pane or tab just run the list of actions.
  • This (deliberately) does not restore the exact visual state as focus could
    have changed / new panes might have been created in the mean time. Mostly
    this means that restoring a pane will just attach to the currently focused
    pane instead of whatever its old neighbor was.
  • Buffer is limited to 100 entries which might as well be "infinite" by most reasonable
    standards, but prevents complaints about there being memory leaks in long running
    instances.
  • The action name could be potentially changed, but it felt unwieldy as "restoreLastClosedPaneOrTab".
  • This does not handle restoring the actual running contents of a pane.
