The session's name, tmux's `-s`.

Empty names, `:`, `.`, control characters and DEL are refused, because the
supported servers do not agree on them: 3.2a through 3.6b rewrite a
delimiter to `_` and hand back a session the caller did not name, 3.7
fails, and 3.7a onward stores it literally. What is accepted here reads
back unchanged from every supported server.
