6bca92db4d Rather than running status-left, status-right and window title #() with popen
immediately every redraw, queue them up and run them in the background,
starting each once every status-interval. The actual status line uses the
output from the last run.

This brings several advantages:

- tmux itself may be called from inside #() without causing the server to hang;
- likewise, sleep or similar doesn't cause the server to block;
- commands aren't run excessively often when redrawing;
- commands shared by status-left and status-right, or used multiple times, will
  only be run once.

run-shell and if-shell still use system()/popen() but will be changed over to
use this too later.

9dd72b9583 Add "grouped sessions" which have independent name, options, current window and
so on but where the linked windows are synchronized (ie creating, killing
windows and so on are mirrored between the sessions). A grouped session may be
created by passing -t to new-session.

Had this around for a while, tested by a couple of people.

b7d031cc92 Support for individual session idle time locking. May be enabled by turning off
the lock-server option (it is on by default). When this is off, each session
locks when it has been idle for the lock-after-time setting. When on, the
entire server locks when ALL sessions have been idle for their individual
lock-after-time settings.

This replaces one global-only option (lock-after-time) with another
(lock-server), but the default behaviour is usually preferable so there don't
seem to be many alternatives.

Diff/idea largely from Thomas Adam, tweaked by me.

9200a0be7a Support -c like sh(1) to execute a command, useful when tmux is a login
shell. Suggested by halex@.

restart the tmux server before upgrading.

b01dcd7971 Remove the internal tmux locking and instead detach each client and run the
command specified by a new option "lock-command" (by default "lock -np") in
each client.

This means each terminal has to be unlocked individually but simplifies the
code and allows the system password to be used to unlock.

Note that the set-password command is gone, so it will need to be removed from
configuration files, and the -U command line flag has been removed.

This is the third protocol version change so again it is best to stop the tmux
server before upgrading.

7d5e494716 When using tmux as a login shell, there is currently no way to specify a shell
to be used as a login shell inside tmux, so add a default-shell session option.
This sets the shell invoked as a login shell when the default-command option is
empty.

The default option value is whichever of $SHELL, getpwuid(getuid())'s pw_shell
or /bin/sh is valid first.

Based on a diff from martynas@, changed by me to be a session option rather
than a window option.

7b847ced4a Add a choose-client command and extend choose-{session,window} to accept a
template. After a choice is made, %% (or %1) in the template is replaced by the
name of the session, window or client suitable for -t and the result executed
as a command. So, for example, "choose-window "killw -t '%%'"" will kill the
selected window.

The defaults if no template is given are (as now) select-window for
choose-window, switch-client for choose-session, and detach-client for
choose-client (now bound to D).

3f4418d84d Extend command-prompt with a -p option which is a comma-separated list of one
or more prompts to present in order.

The responses to the prompt are replaced in the template string: %% are
replaced in order, so the first prompt replaces the first %%, the second
replaces the second, and so on. In addition, %1 up to %9 are replaced with the
responses to the first the ninth prompts

The default template is "%1" so the response to the first prompt is processed
as a command.

Note that this changes the behaviour for %% so if there is only one prompt,
only the first %% will be replaced. Templates such as "neww -n '%%' 'ssh %%'"
should be changed to "neww -n '%1' 'ssh %1'".

6491274f60 Infrastructure and commands to manage the environment for processes started
within tmux.

There is a global environment, copied from the external environment when the
server is started and each sesssion has an (initially empty) session
environment which overrides it.

New commands set-environment and show-environment manipulate or display the
environments.

A new session option, update-environment, is a space-separated list of
variables which are updated from the external environment into the session
environment every time a new session is created - the default is DISPLAY.

e89e70e715 If there is an error in the configuration file, don't just exit(1) as this can
cause the client to hang. Instead, send the error message, then mark the client
as bad and start a normal shutdown so the server exits once the error is
written.

This also allows some code duplicating daemon(3) to be trimmed and logging to
begin earlier.

Prompted by Theo noticing the behaviour on error wasn't documented.

071494d8fa Merge pane number into the target specification for pane commands. Instead of
using -p index, a target pane is now addressed with the normal -t window form
but suffixed with a period and a pane index, for example :0.2 or
mysess:mywin.1. An unadorned number such as -t 1 is tried as a pane index in
the current window, if that fails the same rules are followed as for a target
window and the current pane in that window used.

As a side-effect this now means that swap-pane can swap panes between different
windows.

Note that this changes the syntax of the break-pane, clear-history, kill-pane,
resize-pane, select-pane and swap-pane commands.

6036bdd06c Improved layout code.
Each window now has a tree of layout cells associated with it. In this tree,
each node is either a horizontal or vertical cell containing a list of other
cells running from left-to-right or top-to-bottom, or a leaf cell which is
associated with a pane.

The major functional changes are:

- panes may now be split arbitrarily both horizontally (splitw -h, C-b %) and
  vertically (splitw -v, C-b ");
- panes may be resized both horizontally and vertically (resizep -L/-R/-U/-D,
  bound to C-b left/right/up/down and C-b M-left/right/up/down);
- layouts are now applied and then may be modified by resizing or splitting
  panes, rather than being fixed and reapplied when the window is resized or
  panes are added;
- manual-vertical layout is no longer necessary, and active-only layout is gone
  (but may return in future);
- the main-pane layouts now reduce the size of the main pane to fit all panes
  if possible.

Thanks to all who tested.

023d8d38ec Tidy up and improve target (-t) argument parsing:
- move the code back into cmd.c and merge with the existing functions where
  possible;
- accept "-tttyp0" as well as "-t/dev/ttyp0" for clients;
- when looking up session names, try an exact match first, and if that fails
  look for it as an fnmatch pattern and then as the start of a name - if more
  that one session matches an error is given; so if there is one session called
  "mysession", -tmysession, -tmysess, -tmysess* are equivalent but if there
  is also "mysession2", the last two are errors;
- similarly for windows, if the argument is not a valid index or exact window
  name match, try it against the window names as an fnmatch pattern and a
  prefix.

7e796dea03 Change find-window and monitor-content to use fnmatch(3). For convenience and
compatibility, *s are implicitly added at the start and end of the pattern.

Also display the line number and the entire line in the results, and lose the
nasty section_string function and the now empty util.c file.

Initially from Tiago Cunha.

655a1aea6c Do not set the window title by default (make set-titles option default to off),
wiping over the title is rude and annoying. Agreed by several.

characters in status-left and status-right (if on, they are treated as UTF-8;
otherwise passed through).

e659aa86b9 Add a section summarising the status line. There are quite a number of status
line options, it is something many want to configure, and the meaning of some
bits weren't really documented.

3f76a973ee Recent code to try and detect if a terminal supports UTF-8 by printing to it
fails spectacularly on (at least) sparc64, so disable it for now. Thanks to
naddy and Josh Elsasser for help and testing.

- main-horizontal layout to match main-vertical, and options to configure the
  size of the large pane;
- clear-history command;
- select-layout command.
