Description
Hi, recently a split tabs api has been merged into the web extensions standard.
It would be great if we are able to do :vs and get into split view. Just like in vim!
Only the x keybinding should be modified to accomodate this change,
x - if in split view, quit the active pane in split.
else close the tab.
And from Firefox version 149, it is no longer experimental, and enabled by default.

Research direction
Start by reviewing Firefox's split tabs API and Vimium's existing :vs and x keybinding entry points. The work is done when :vs opens Firefox split view and x quits the active split pane there, while still closing the tab outside split view.
