Description
When pressing << on the first tab, it currently does nothing. I would like to make the tab wrap around to the end in this case, and make typing >> on the last tab move it before the first tab.
One potential issue is breaking the functionality of 99<< and 99>> to move to the first and last tabs. This could be fixed by making special cases for when the count is 99.
I am willing to implement these changes. Would you merge them?

Research direction
Start by tracing the existing tab-movement handling for << and >>, then compare it with the 99<< and 99>> behavior described in issue 1727. Confirm the intended wraparound behavior at both ends and ensure the existing count-99 navigation remains intact; done means both edge cases work without regression.
