Subject: [PATCH] Replace auto-session with simple named-session commands

Drop the rmagatti/auto-session plugin (automatic cwd-keyed sessions
went unused). Add custom.sessions: :SessionWrite/:SessionRead/
:SessionDelete over plain :mksession files in <data>/sessions/, with
tab-completion and a picker fallback when no name is given.
