Because of multiple requests to have some quick way to mark buffers for quickly switching between multiple buffers, and also inspired by @yyoncho his [evil-marker-plus](https://github.com/yyoncho/evil-markers-plus), I figured that it is often preferred to just jump to the last buffer position instead of a specific line number when jumping to a global mark (if one wants to jump to the specific line then one could jump with backtick, optionally follow by a zero, instead of jumping with quote. A following commit implements listing the marks with some delay in *evil-marks* buffer (similar to which-key package behavior)
This commit adds functionality to the previous commit (i.e. mark-goto-buffer-not-line), and shows marks in the *evil-marks* window after a delay (similiar to which-key). It is especially handy to remind of which mark is associated with which buffer.

I have added a third commit with the refactored code. I have kept the three commits for clarity. The first commit only adds the option to (global) jump to the last position in buffer instead of the first character of the line. The second commit adds the The third commit contains the refactored code. I have added only one variable to enable/disable the jump to buffer instead of line AND the delay preview (equivalent to which-key) buffer simultaneously... |

This is the updated version of PR #1413, please refer to its PR for motivation.
This PR is mainly created to start the discussion. It has been implemented as an option that is controlled by the variable
evil-mark-goto-buffer-not-line.If you agree it might be a nice feature/option, then I can merge/rewrite/refactor the extra functions below into the the original
evil-goto-markandevil-goto-mark-linefunctions.So this PR offers an option that for global markers, and ONLY for global jumps (i.e. to different buffer) with the single quote
', the user can choose to not jump to the start of the marked line, but instead just jump to the buffer (i.e. just last cursor position).Additionally it adds the option to, after initiating a
goto, see the available marks after some delay in the evil-marks buffer. The behavior is equivalent to that of the 'which-key' package. (In this way buffers can be easily marked and listed while the switch is bound to a very convenient key-sequence).
