Modified existing test that assumes Max-substrings = 0 when negative. Added tests for scriptblock/predicate-based splitting (regular and right-to-left).
To allow RTL splitting when supplying negative Max-substrings arguments to -split, we set the RightToLeft RegexOption and convert limit to an absolute value
Additionally changed the chunk buffer from StringBuilder to List<char> - we don't use any StringBuilder specific functionality and List<char> allows us to reverse the chunk and avoid Insert(0, item) The individual chunk lists have been changed to pre-allocate the expected needed capacity to avoid unnecessary resizing of the unuderlying array

This pull request adds RightToLeft support to the binary -split operator, as requested in #4765
I've added tests for negative integer input for the Max-substrings operand to work with both regex patterns and scriptblocks.
