Policy for whether the builder waits for a pane's shell prompt.

tmuxp waits for each default-shell pane to draw its prompt before
dispatching layout and commands, which avoids a zsh prompt-redraw artifact
(see :func:`tmuxp.workspace.builder.classic._wait_for_pane_ready`). The wait
is only needed for zsh, so the default
:attr:`~tmuxp.workspace.options.PaneReadiness.AUTO` policy waits only when
the session's interactive shell is zsh.
