We actually had it already implemented. It's inferior-ess-same-window
which defaulted to t. I have changed it to nil. It feels better this way
as it is consistent with the splitting which we have during the
auto-start.

I have also made the C-z C-z smarter, it is bound both in ESS and iESS
and from iESS it jumps back to the most recent R buffer. I had this in
my todo for 4 months or so :) C-c C-y is deprecated with a message now.
