fix(ui-navigation): error clearly when undo-kill prefix exceeds the list
An out-of-range numeric prefix made (nth (1- arg) ...) return nil, and find-file on nil signaled a wrong-type-argument. Guard the index and raise a user-error naming how many killed files are available. A new test covers the out-of-range path.
