Support vterm-mgt.el

I enjoyed using term-switcher so much that I ended up adopting vterm as my
primary terminal. After reaching for vterm as often as I did, I realized that I
would enjoy supporting cycling through instances, creating new instances,
deleting existing instances, renaming instances. Thus spawned vterm-mgt.el.

I'm particularly excited about the KBD to toggle between vterm instances and
source code buffers.

+;;; vterm-mgt.el --- Help me manage my vterm instances -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
+;; Author: William Carroll <wpcarro@gmail.com>
+
+;;; Commentary:
+;; Supporting functions to instantiate vterm buffers, kill existing vterm
+;; buffers, rename vterm buffers, cycle forwards and backwards through vterm
+;; buffers.
+;;
+;; Many of the functions defined herein are intended to be bound to
+;; `vterm-mode-map'.  Some assertions are made to guard against calling
+;; functions that are intended to be called from outside of a vterm buffer.
+;; These assertions shouldn't error when the functions are bound to
+;; `vterm-mode-map'.  If for some reason, you'd like to bind these functions to
+;; a separate keymap, caveat emptor.
