Subject: fix(mksession): don't store floats in session #18635

Problem:
If there are floating windows when `:mksession` runs, the session cannot
be properly restored.

Solution:
Change `:mksession` to skip floating windows. This matches Vim's
treatment of popup windows.

An alternative approach could have `:mksession` save floating windows
that can be _properly_ restored (rather than skip them entirely, which
is what this PR does). While that would seemingly be a more complete
fix, that could present additional issues since floating windows are
ordinarily created by plugins, and they may no longer be properly under
a plugin's control when restored.

closes #18432
