tmux: use idempotent new-session to avoid duplicate sessions

When both system-level (e.g., NixOS programs.tmux) and home-manager
tmux configs set newSession = true, tmux would create two sessions
on startup since both /etc/tmux.conf and ~/.config/tmux/tmux.conf
contain the new-session command.

Change new-session to new-session -A -s 0, which attaches to session
"0" if it exists, otherwise creates it. This makes the command
idempotent so multiple configs can safely enable newSession.
