fix(data-views): use browse in forms logic

[grantfitzsimmons]

Fixes #8627

This PR makes it so that Data Views (and its implementation in the Query Builder) follow the same logic as 'Browse In Forms', where no selection allows you to page between all result rows. It is not until you select a result that the preview is limited to the row(s) selected.

This also solves some conflict (reported by @melton-jason) where Specify would automatically select the first row when using split view in the Query Builder, which is not always desirable.

Testing instructions

• Run a query in Query Builder.
• Enable split view without selecting any result rows.
• Confirm the form pane displays all query results.
• Navigate through loaded and unloaded records.
• Select specific rows and confirm the form pane shows only those rows.
• Repeat the same checks in Data Views.
• Verify vertical split view fills the available width.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Query results can now be displayed alongside an inline record view in a split layout, with support for navigating, selecting, deleting, and loading more results.
• Updates
  • Split-pane sizing now adjusts to the selected orientation.
  • Results are no longer automatically selected when they first appear or when split view is enabled.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Query results can display all records in an inline record selector when no rows are selected. The change removes automatic first-row selection and adjusts split-pane sizing based on orientation.

Changes

Query result split view

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Selection and all-results record set specifyweb/frontend/js_src/lib/components/QueryBuilder/ToForms.tsx, specifyweb/frontend/js_src/lib/components/QueryBuilder/useQuerySplitView.ts, specifyweb/frontend/js_src/lib/components/QueryBuilder/Wrapped.tsx, specifyweb/frontend/js_src/lib/components/DataViews/index.tsx, specifyweb/frontend/js_src/lib/components/QueryBuilder/__tests__/ToForms.test.ts	getSelectedResults derives IDs from selected rows or all query results and pads unloaded results when appropriate. The selection hook no longer selects the first result when split view is enabled or results arrive. Tests cover selected and unselected results.
Split-pane rendering and sizing specifyweb/frontend/js_src/lib/components/QueryBuilder/Results.tsx, specifyweb/frontend/js_src/lib/components/QueryBuilder/ResultsWrapper.tsx, specifyweb/frontend/js_src/lib/components/QueryBuilder/SplitView.tsx, specifyweb/frontend/js_src/lib/components/QueryBuilder/__tests__/SplitView.test.tsx	QueryResults and QueryResultsWrapper accept a split-pane renderer and pass split settings and result callbacks. SplitView applies dimensions based on orientation. A test checks vertical sizing.
Data Views and Query Builder integration specifyweb/frontend/js_src/lib/components/DataViews/index.tsx, specifyweb/frontend/js_src/lib/components/QueryBuilder/QueryBuilderResults.tsx	Both views render QueryFormView in the split pane with result, selection, pagination, deletion, and navigation callbacks. The previous record-preview panes are removed.

- Around line 720-726: Update the `secondaryPane` prop in the component
containing `renderSplitPane` so it only calls `renderSplitPane` when `isSplit`
is true; otherwise provide an empty pane. Preserve the existing arguments and
behavior when split view is active.
