What changed in v0.44.0

Native Windows support; `zellij attach https://…` attaches to remote sessions, optionally read-only; many new CLI actions (`list-panes`, sending keys to a pane, `subscribe`, `paste`, dumping a pane's viewport, `--pane-id`/`--tab-id`); mouse resizing and borderless panes; a new session-manager UI.

Also: Click file paths in the viewport to open them; save a session for resurrection on demand.

v0.44.0; building from source needs Rust 1.92.
