I don't think we actually need to change select-window, since the
current version doesn't support selecting by number.  Instead the
select-window-by-number command and :window-number argument type need
changing.  This is incongruously (and perhaps arbitrarily) different
to how groups work, but it's how it is currently.

Pushed this, but not the changes to *window-number-map* and
*group-number-map*.  I think these can just be nil by default (for
now), so that no mapping happens.

I don't think windowlist and grouplist need changing.  They search
based on the menu string, which (depending on your format strings)
already contains the map number.  So they should just work.
