Resolves #8488

Description

What is the purpose of this pull request?

This pull request implements the RFC proposing the addition of the package symbol/split.
The package is designed to match the structure and conventions used by existing symbol packages in stdlib, including:

-symbol/has-instance
-symbol/iterator
-symbol/async-iterator
-symbol/is-concat-spreadable

The primary purpose of this package is to export Symbol.split when it exists in the environment, and null otherwise.

This pull request:

-Adds the new @stdlib/symbol/split package
-Renames and adapts code from an existing symbol package template
-Ensures all references use the correct package name (split)
-Creates a variable name consistent with stdlib conventions (e.g., SplitSymbol)
-Provides updated documentation, descriptions, and examples using MDN reference behavior
-Implements tests, benchmarks, and examples for the new package
-Verifies the package follows all project conventions and patterns
-Updates the copyright years to 2025
-Reviews the implementation to ensure there are no copy-paste mistakes

This time, I took the time to thoroughly understand the package structure, naming conventions, and documentation patterns used across existing stdlib packages. After reviewing similar implementations, I made the required changes manually and relied on AI only minimally ,mainly for clarification, not generation.
