This fixes an issue in the recently released nested-sessions feature, where we would require the
ZELLIJenv var to be present before attempting the negotiation that will allow the inner session to take over the UI of the outer session. This meant that they did not work by default over SSH - which is one of the main use cases.This was an oversight on my part, since my main use-case for this feature is developing Zellij itself inside my own Zellij session (which does not require SSH).
