Two new options:

- server option "exit-unattached" makes the server exit when no clients
  are attached, even if sessions are present;

- session option "destroy-unattached" destroys a session once no clients
  are attached to it.

These are useful for preventing tmux remaining in the background where
it is undesirable and when using tmux as a login shell to keep a limit
on new sessions.
