`:sp[lit]`, etc. should optionally use `workbench.action.splitEditorInGroup`

Description
VSCode 1.61 (yes, it's September 2021) release now has the "split editor in group" feature, and it would be good to have an VSCodeVim option to use it for :sp and :vs (along with Ctrl+W + hjkl / arrow keys) instead of making new editor groups.

Research direction
Start from the :sp and :vs commands and the Ctrl+W plus hjkl or arrow-key mappings described in the issue. Check how these commands currently create editor groups, then compare their behavior with the workbench.action.splitEditorInGroup command. Done means an option can select that behavior for the listed commands and mappings.
