consult-xref-history

I saw this implemented somewhere and can't find it again. I always get lost in the xref mark stack as you jump to various definitions. It would be great to have a M-x consult-xref-history that presented the xref history stack and where you are within it, similar to consult-mark. Note that the xref--history is a cons of two stacks, backwards and forwards, and can be global or window-local.

This should be simple to add. Both consult-mark and consult-global-mark can take a list of markers. Would it be sufficient to wrap one of those?

I think the only difference would be indicating where you are in the stack.

That's the one! Thanks.
