fix(start): migrate to Rsbuild splitChunks config

[chenjiahan]

Summary

Rsbuild v2 deprecates performance.chunkSplit in favor of the top-level splitChunks option.

This migrates the Start Rsbuild client config to splitChunks with preset: 'none' and chunks: 'async', preserving the existing behavior of splitting only async route chunks.

The Vue Start e2e config no longer supplies the deprecated override.
