patch 9.1.0934: hard to view an existing buffer in the preview window

Problem:  hard to view an existing buffer in the preview window
Solution: add the :pbuffer command (Yinzuo Jiang)

Similar as `:pedit` and `:buffer` command. `:pbuffer` edits buffer [N]
from the buffer list in the preview window.

`:pbuffer` can also open special buffer, for example terminal buffer.

closes: #16222

:[N]pb[uffer][!] [+cmd] [N]
Edit buffer [N] from the buffer list in the preview window.

See |:buffer-!| for [!]. This will also edit a buffer that is
not in the buffer list, without setting the 'buflisted' flag.
The notation with single quotes does not work here, `:pbuffer
12'345'` uses 12'345 as a buffer name. Also see |+cmd|.
