Description
I tend to open stratify page multiple times during my work in vim. I have noticed that each time startify is opened, it has a new buffer number. I wonder if the command ``Startify`` could rather use just one buffer number per window? For instance, remember a window local buffer number ``w:startify_bufnum`` and reuse that instead of creating new buffer each time?

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the implementation of the Startify command and inspect how it creates and reopens buffers; then trace the window-local state around repeated openings. Done means repeated Startify invocations in one window reuse its buffer number while separate windows retain their own buffers.
