bug#3142: 23.0.92; split-window-prefered-function should be able to use split-window-horizontally/split-window-vertically

[Jared Finder]

I would expect that split-window-preferred-function would accept split-window-horizontally and split-window-vertically.  At the very least, there should be an easy way to set this to "always split vertically", "always split horizontally", and "intelligently split".
