Support a mark ring for Nyxt similar to what exists in Emacs #1819

Marking a point with reading-line-mode is somewhat close to this feature requesst. However, it would still be valuable to have a whole mark ring available recording places in multiple buffers where the user has set marks.

Dupblicate of https://github.com/atlas-engineer/nyxt/issues/392 ?

Pretty similar. Apparently, feature #392 uses scroll position as a reference of position.

When I wrote this a few days ago, I was thinking of something similar to Emacs which uses the caret position as a reference of position. Webpages do not have caret positions in general, except for the ones with text boxes available (like this comment section).

When I imagined this feature, I thought about marking different words, titles, images... All the possible different objects in web pages would be potentially marked.

For me, they look like similar but different things. Maybe, the ideas could be merged.

Instead of a duplicate, maybe #1819 (mark all objects in web pages) is a superset of #392 (mark scroll position in web pages).

What do you think?

OK, it's different, and actually I wouldn't say it's a superset seens scroll positions are not objects in my understanding.
