doc: ref the layout, buffer and window sections and commands
Add some references between the Screen layout and Buffers and windows sections, linking also to the appropriate commands. This should make it easier to discover the `/layout` command and its relevance to the windows and buffer management. (Small contribution to GitHub issue #1641)
