LibTmux.Window.BuildSelectLayoutArguments(request: SelectLayoutRequest) -> List<string>
```

Builds the arguments a layout request sends.

This stays on the window rather than becoming a static helper because
validating a layout name asks the running tmux which names it knows,
and an unrecognised name takes the whole server down on 3.3a. A chained
layout has to be checked the same way a direct one is.
