feat(gtk): implement window splits and fix segfault on exit

- Add dynamic GTK container layout with Gtk::Paned for window splits
- Implement rebuild_layout() to match EditorCore's LayoutNode tree
- Fix segfault on exit with proper signal cleanup in close handler
- Add per-window DrawingArea creation with individual input handling
- Support C-x 2 (horizontal) and C-x 3 (vertical) window splits
- Phase 6 GTK4 frontend now fully complete
