feat(vterm): show tmux scrollback history in place
`cj/vterm-tmux-history' previously used `pop-to-buffer', which routed the history view through display-buffer-alist -- in an agent window that often meant a split or a hand-off to another window, costing the agent its frame slot. `switch-to-buffer' instead drops the history into the selected window directly; the existing quit handler already restores the origin in that same window via `set-window-buffer'.
New test asserts the in-place behavior: starting single-window with a vterm origin, invoking the command leaves `(one-window-p)` t with the history buffer in the original slot. The existing render test no longer needs its `pop-to-buffer' stub since `switch-to-buffer' works in batch.
