I think this change should be made for all invocations of `bury-buffer',
not only from `next-buffer'. Also I think recoding a buffer to the
new frame parameter should be made in `bury-buffer' instead of
`next-buffer'. And so there is no need for a new optional parameter.
Some commands call `bury-buffer' directly, and it would be good to
record their buffers in the frame-local parameter.

These functions are much better than previous versions, but still
don't work correctly without changes in `bury-buffer'.
Instead of introducing a new frame parameter `previous-buffer-list'
what do you think about reusing the existing frame parameter `buffer-list'?
It could have a special marker delimiting a list of frame's "next" visited
buffers and "previous" visited buffers. A nil value could serve as
such special marker. So for example, (frame-parameter nil 'buffer-list)
could contain:
(#<buffer *b+1*> #<buffer *b+2*> nil #<buffer *b-2*> #<buffer *b-1*>)
where buffers until `nil' are buffers added by `switch-to-buffer'
(i.e. the same buffers that are currently recorded in this parameter),
and buffers after `nil' are buffers added by `bury-buffer'.
Then some functions should be changed to understand this new format of
the frame parameter `buffer-list'.
