feat(tmux): mirror vterm-copy-mode key story in tmux copy-mode
M-w copies and stays in mode so multiple selections can be grabbed in a row
(was copy-selection-and-cancel). C-g exits (was clear-selection). Enter is
unbound so RET has no copy-and-exit shortcut. q and Escape already cancel
by default and are kept as-is.
Mirrors the cj/vterm-tmux-history and vterm-copy-mode story on the Emacs
side, so all three surfaces for lifting text out of a vterm share one key
story.
