* revamp layouts: they are too complicated, should be more closely
integrated, should support hints, layout sets should just be a
special case of custom layouts, and we should support panes that are
not attached to a cell at all. this could be the time to introduce
panelink to replace layout_cell

distinction between session.c, window.c and server-fn.c functions is not options on window, on session, and global. for window options we look
clear. could we just have kill_pane(), kill_window(), unlink_window(), window->session->global, and for session we look session->global
