[RDY] Add buffer information to tabline_update (#12481)

* Add buffer information to tabline_update

Most terminal implementations of the tabline display buffer and tab
information. Many neovim-qt users disable GuiTabline because it lacks
functionality provided in the terminal implementation.

The tabline_update event should include buffer information too, so client GUIs
can display rich useful tabs.
