fix(difftool): ensure split layout, use systemlist #36145

- Always open the right window to the right, regardless of 'splitright'
  setting, ensuring the left window is always leftmost.
- Use `vim.fn.systemlist` for diffr output to avoid manual splitting.
- Add a test to verify window layout consistency with 'splitright' and
  'nosplitright' options.
- Escape quotes in git difftool example properly.
