fix(core): track quotes inside a command substitution in splitCommands (#7870)

Quote tracking was gated on `substitutionDepth === 0`, so quotes inside a
`$(...)` body were invisible to the parser. A `)` inside those quotes then
closed the substitution early, and the body's own closing quote -- now
seen at depth 0 -- flipped the parser into "in quote" state, which
swallowed every separator to the end of the line.

  splitCommands(`echo $(echo ')') ; rm -rf /tmp/pwned`)
    -> ["echo $(echo ')') ; rm -rf /tmp/pwned"]     one segment
  getCommandRoots(same)
    -> ["echo"]                                     rm is gone

The trailing command did not merely stay joined to the first, it vanished
from the roots. shell.ts uses these segments to decide which sub-commands
need confirmation, and to locate the git commit / gh pr create segment for
attribution, which silently no-ops on a mis-split.

Gating the closing paren on the surrounding quote state is not enough,
because `"$(...)"` puts a double quote around the whole substitution and
that quote belongs to the outer command. Save the enclosing quote state on
`$(` and restore it on the matching `)`, so each body is quoted
independently of its surroundings.

splitCommands had no direct unit tests; this adds them, including the
nesting and quoting shapes that must keep behaving as they do.
