Have terminal emulator send Vim's <leader>i for <C-i>

Getting consistent behavior in and out of tmux has been a challenge.

In order to keep C-i/C-o jumps and remap Tab/S-Tab for buffers, I'm
having the terminal remap C-i to <leader>i for vim.

This'll bite me when I use another CLI that needs C-i.

* Use Windows Terminal instead of Windows Console Host
* Use Alacritty instead of Gnome-Console.

Investigations:

* Do C-i remapping in tmux config, but that affects Tab.
* No solution for PuTTY yet.
