[vim/vim] runtime(netrw): add tag-jump-like prompt for goto bookmark (gb) (PR #20211)

[J. Paulo Seibt]

Problem:

• To goto a bookmark one needs to prefix a count for the bookmark number (e.g., 2gb to open bookmark#2). As the bookmark list gets or deletes entries, the numbers keep changing, requiring listing the bookmarks with qb to discover the desired bookmark number. Typing gb without a count opens g:netrw_bookmarklist[-1].

Solution:

• If no count is given to gb, list all bookmarks and prompt for a number using inputlist(), similar to tag jump with g].

@chrisbra I was considering implementing the same inputlist() logic for the bookmark deletion mapping, mB (s:NetrwBookHistHandler a:chg == 6). Currently, typing mB without a count just deletes g:netrw_bookmarklist[-1].
I'm not a fan of the mapping deleting without a count prefix, because someone can delete the last bookmark entry by accident if they mistype the command for creating a bookmark (mb). However, maybe some users like to keep pressing mB to pop-out the last entry in the list.

I found this new behavior with inputlist() pretty nice. Do you think it would fit well for the deletion mapping too? If so, I could add it to this PR.
