Subject: A command run from a pane gets acme's $winid, the serial of the pane
 it was run from; one from a column's or the workspace's tag gets none

PARDES_PANE names the command pane itself, so a script a click ran had
no way to address the pane it was run in, as acme's win scripts do with
$winid. The command pane now remembers that pane and its child gets
winid set to it; a header tag's command, which no pane owns, gets winid
unset. PARDES_PANE is unchanged.
