Add support for `@` symbols in selection buffer

The selection descriptions use the format
`<buffer>@<timestamp>@<main_index>`. This fails when file paths have `@`
symbols in them: the parser splits on `@` symbols and finds more values
than it expects.

We here modify the behavior to require *at least* two @ symbols, using
the last two for `<timestamp>` and `<main_index>` and leaving the
remaining text for the <buffer>. This should work for any number of `@`
symbols, since `<timestamp>` and `<main_index>` are numbers and should
never contain `@` symbols.
