Add an optional title bar that displays above or below each window pane
when multiple windows are visible in a tab. This is similar to tmux's
pane-border-format or Terminator's pane title bars.
New configuration options:
- pane_title_bar: none/top/bottom (default: none)
- pane_title_template: f-string template (same syntax as tab_title_template)
- active_pane_title_template: override for active pane
- pane_title_bar_active_fg/bg: colors for active pane title
- pane_title_bar_inactive_fg/bg: colors for inactive pane titles
- pane_title_bar_align: left/center/right text alignment
The title bars are rendered using virtual Screen objects registered with
the GPU, following the same model as the tab bar. Title bars are
automatically hidden when only a single window is visible.

Tools like Easy Move+Resize use the macOS Accessibility API to find and
move/resize windows. They call AXUIElementCopyElementAtPosition to get the
content view, then use kAXWindowAttribute to navigate to the parent window.
The isAccessibilitySelectorAllowed: whitelist was blocking these selectors,
preventing external window management tools (Easy Move+Resize) from working with
kitty.
