Where a split puts the pane it makes.

## Example

```rust
use libtmux::SplitDirection;

let guard = libtmux::test::TestServer::new().await?;
let session = guard.server().new_session("work").await?;
let window = session.active_window().await?.expect("a session has a window");

// The direction names where the *new* pane lands, not which edge moves.
window.split(SplitDirection::Right).await?;
window.split(SplitDirection::Below).await?;
assert_eq!(window.panes().await?.len(), 3);

guard.shutdown().await?;
```
