    Tests: Replace deprecated `mb_split()` with `preg_split()` in date query tests.

    Oniguruma, which is the regex engine behind the `mbstring` extension, ended maintenance in April 2025. Since the PHP project can no longer expect upstream security fixes on it, all `mbstring` regex functionality is deprecated in PHP 8.6, including the `mb_ereg*()` family and `mb_split()`, with removal in PHP 9.0.

    A PECL package, `mb_onig`, has been created for those who rely on this functionality, but the recommendation is to use PCRE functions with the `/u` modifier instead.

    This commit replaces the only three instances of `mb_split()` in WordPress core test suite with `preg_split()`.
