git_ui: Enable splitting MultiDiffView (directory `zed --diff`) (#64967)

## Summary

Enable split diffs for `zed --diff`, where the left and right sides are
directories.
This simply reuses the existing split diff that's already used for
single-file diffs, git UI, etc.

I believe this will make the Zed diff experience more consistent for use
cases like `git difftool`, `jj diff --tool` etc.

See #50046 for a similar change that made this work for single-file diff
views.

## Testing

1. `cargo build`
2. `zed --zed target/debug/zed --diff $left $right` (where `$left` and
`$right` are directories)

For the screenshots above, I used `jj` configuration like this. It's a
little awkward to setup because the debug build of Zed looks for grammar
files in `crates/grammars/src` to properly highlight everything

```toml
[merge-tools.zed-tester]
program = "bash"
diff-invocation-mode = "dir"
diff-args = [
  "-c",
  '''
    dir=$PWD
    cd /path/to/zed/checkout
    zed-preview --zed ./target/debug/zed --wait --diff "$dir/$1" "$dir/$2"
  ''',
  "",
  "$left",
  "$right"
]
```

Usage with this config: `jj show $revision --tool zed-tester` or `jj
diff -r $revisions --tool zed-tester`

## Self-review

- [x] I've reviewed my diff for quality, security, reliability, and
performance.

- [x] UI changes follow the
[checklist](https://zed.dev/docs/development/ui-checklist).
- No new UI components here, just plugging existing ones together. UX
should match what already existed for other usages of these components

- [x] Tests cover the new or changed behavior.
- In particular, added a test for the same scenario as #60914 to ensure
that it works for this view

Release Notes:

- Enable side-by-side view for multibuffer `zed --diff` of directories
