Pane.SendPrefix

SendPrefix sends a tmux prefix key to the receiver's exact linked pane. Unsupported PrefixKey values fail before execution. A completed command produces a CommandError only when tmux writes stderr; the library-created error retains only the exit code. Nonzero exits without stderr are ignored; transport errors are delivery-ambiguous.
