Apply transactions to all views (#4733)

* Add a test case for updating jumplists across windows

* Apply transactions to all views on history changes

This ensures that jumplist selections follow changes in documents, even
when there are multiple views (for example a split where both windows
edit the same document).

* Leave TODOs for cleaning up View::apply

* Use Iterator::reduce to compose history transactions
