Disallow macro keybindings within command sequences

This is a temporary limitation because of the way that command sequences
are executed. Each command is currently executed back-to-back
synchronously, but macros are by design queued up for the compositor.
So macros mixed into a command sequence will behave undesirably: they
will be executed after the rest of the static and/or typable commands
in the sequence.

This is pending a larger refactor of how we handle commands.
<https://redirect.github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/5555> has
further details and <https://redirect.github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/4508>
discusses a similar problem faced by the command palette.
