Issue description

Tmux last-pane or select-pane -l do not jump to the real last pane if last pane was in another window or session.

While maybe it is possible to define a user option for every pane and record such information, it would still be limited, as it won't be a moving list of panes user visited.

What is being requested? A Vim-style jump list feature, so user can move between panes with ease just like they navigate within Vim with C-o and C-i, or open jump list to choose to jump to (based on visit-age).

This will supercharge navigation in tmux as users will be able to jump back and forth between older visited panes and younger visited panes. IMO with just 2 keybindings that user could specify with such a feature, it could become a preferred way of navigating as it does not require using mouse or remembering session name, window name/ window number.

An additional setting if such a feature is implemented would be the depth of the jump list.
