Add editor session snapshot APIs, plugin storage, and lifecycle hooks so plugins can persist and restore workspace state across editor runs. Include a built-in `session_restore` plugin that saves file-backed buffers, cursor positions, viewport state, and window splits on exit.

Why
Plugins can react to editor events today, but they do not have a deterministic way to persist workspace state at shutdown or restore it during startup. That makes session-style plugins impossible without baking the behavior directly into the editor. This change adds the missing lifecycle and state APIs, then uses them to ship a built-in
