What kind of value an option holds.

## Example

```rust
use libtmux::{OptionKind, option_schema};

// `mouse` is a real flag: on or off.
assert_eq!(option_schema("mouse").map(OptionSchema::kind), Some(OptionKind::Flag));

// `status` looks like one and is not: it also accepts a count of status
// lines, so reading it as a boolean discards those values.
assert_eq!(option_schema("status").map(OptionSchema::kind), Some(OptionKind::Choice));
```
