vim-patch:9.0.1921: not possible to use the jumplist like a stack (#25278)

Problem:  not possible to use the jumplist like a stack
Solution: Add the 'jumpoptions' setting to make the jumplist
          a stack.

Add an option for using jumplist like tag stack

- neovim/neovim@39094b3
- https://vi.stackexchange.com/questions/18344/how-to-change-jumplist-behavior

Based on the feedback in the previous PR, it looks like many people like
this option.

+When 'jumpoptions' option includes "stack", the jumplist behaves like the tag
+stack.  When jumping to a new location from the middle of the jumplist, the
+locations after the current position will be discarded. With this option set
+you can move through a tree of jump locations. When going back up a branch and
+then down another branch, CTRL-O still takes you further up the tree.
 
-This behavior corresponds to the following situation in a web browser.
-Navigate to first.com, second.com, third.com, fourth.com and then fifth.com.
-Then navigate backwards twice so that third.com is displayed.  At that point,
-the history is:
-- first.com
-- second.com
-- third.com <--
-- fourth.com
-- fifth.com
-
-Finally, navigate to a different webpage, new.com.  The history is
-- first.com
-- second.com
-- third.com
-- new.com <--

-When the jumpoptions includes "stack", this is the behavior of Nvim as well.
