An opaque token: hand it back to select_layout exactly as received, and do not parse its shape.

tmux 3.8+ reports JSON here for a plain client, and keeps the classic layout string for a control client unless that client has asked tmux for JSON with refresh-client -f / new-layouts — which Connection::connect sends on every connection, so control mode through this library gets JSON on 3.8+ too.

A version's own layout() output round-trips through its own select_layout on that version; see that method's comment for what "round-trips" promises and what it does not.
