Description
Reported by Huhhila:
concurrently-arriving stacks of same type do not respect the do-not-split-stacks setting
https://blockexchange.minetest.ch/schema/Huhhila/allow_splitting_off_not_respected_when_concurrent
so far only ever heard of other people reporting this with centrifuges,
but I think every node with the "allow splitting off" setting is affected.

Research direction
Start with the linked Huhhila schema report and reproduce the concurrently arriving stack case, using centrifuges as the reported example. Trace the handling of nodes with the "allow splitting off" setting; done means concurrent same-type stacks consistently respect that setting without splitting.
