cleanup implementation of add_buf_to_tab

[jebaum]

Changed implementation to recalculate the whole contents of t:tabline_framework_buffer_list whenever executing instead of trying to keep track of state. Cleaner, less error prone, and in practice seems to be perfectly performant.

This has worked reliably for me so far in several hours of usage. I've been working on my own version of the diagonal_tiles example config that uses this code to show a list of the buffers open in a tab within the tab bar. As noted in the below diff, still have 2 issues to work out. Will get to tha when I next have a bit of spare time.

Hi @jebaum !

Can you provide some examples of problems with previous implementation or benefits of the new one? For me it looks just like an alternative approach.

Your tabline looks nice. 👍

-- 2. need to disambiguate if two files are open with the same name by adding components of the path back -- info.buf_name is full path to file, info.filename is just the filename (i.e. the tail of the path)

That's a good idea. I need to think about adding some full path shortener helper.
