Thank you Dmitry, now pushed to master.

Juri, would you help out with adding (or not) `xref-go-forward` to the context menu? I wasn't sure if we had agreed on good names for this and the go-back entries. The current "Back Definition" is a bit nonsensical in English.

I favour (lightly) "Go Back" / "Go Forward" because they make sense in context with the other Xref operations in that separator-delimited group of entries in the menu, and because it's a wording often used for these operations elsewhere such as in web browsers and IDEs (though often it's just "Back" and "Forward").

"Xref {Back,Forward}" or "{Back,Forward} Xref" would also do and displays the link to Xref up front, but the English is decidedly less natural.
