Done (branch "buffer-auto-renumber" merged to master).

New options:
- weechat.look.buffer_auto_renumber (must be set to off to disable auto renumber)
- weechat.look.buffer_position (position for a new buffer: end / first_gap).

New bar item: "buffer_last_number" (now bar item "buffer_count" displays the number of opened buffers, each merged buffer counts 1).

Advantages:

0) addressing channels by numbers which never change
1) restoring layout as best as it's possible
2) arranging windows by topic (i.e. 1-20 are tech channels, 31-50 are chat channels) with ability to add new buffers to “topics” without disrupting anything
3) easily accessible “temporary” windows (pms/scripts/etc) in a “gap” somewhere under buffer #11.

Vim's buffers are like this. Irssi's buffers can be made like this (see http://pthree.org/2008/03/04/static-windows-in-irssi/).
