Add a mark in copy mode. Set with set-mark command (bound to 'X') by default

and the mark and cursor position are swapped with 'jump-to-mark' (bound to
M-x). The line containing the mark is shown in copy-mode-mark-style with the
horizontal position in reverse.

From Anindya Mukherjee in GitHub issue 2209.
