Feature: move current pane to new tab

Similar to the tmux break-pane command.

Anybody working on this one? If not I'd like to give it a try :)

@Monkeyanator Awesome!
Afaik, noone is working on it, so you should be free to to tackle it.
Please feel free to ask any Questions you have!

I just want to mention that I really miss this feature in my day-to-day usage of Zellij. I unfortunately don't have time to devote to it myself right now, but @Monkeyanator - if you still have time for this and I can do anything to guide or help you, I'd be happy to.

Taking a look at this, seems like we can reuse the Tab::close_pane function by having it return the Pane, and it's good because that takes care of the shifting around of space that should happen when a pane is removed from the tab.

However I'm unsure how to go about creating a new tab with a specific Pane. We want to create a new tab with the provided layout but without any terminal panes, right?

I haven't looked deeply at the code, but to give you a direction, I'd try to create an additional constructor for Tab that would allow this (or use the builder method as something like Tab::new(..).with_pane(pane)` if you want to be more rusty).

Getting the pane from close_tab sounds promising, but I'd be a little worried about doing this every time even when we don't need it. Perhaps we can duplicate the logic somehow?

Started using Zellij in my flow. Just missed this feature. Move a panel into its own tab.
Any updates on that?

Implemented finally! Will be released in the next version.

Incidentally, thanks @tlinford for laying down the groundwork for this.
