split border has a negative z index, which causes it to be hidden behind other UI elements.

This commit sets the z index to 1 to ensure the border is visible.

Hey, thanks! I had a look at this yesterday but couldn't get it done because it is more than just changing the z index of the split. We need to adjust the z index of stacked views (e.g. bookmarks, git, etc). Currently, they are using menu and it is by default rendering at z=0, hence leading to this visual artifact.

I'd say we need to set the default Z order of the menu a little bit higher than the split's. Feel free to have a stab at it.

<details>
<summary>idursun/jjui (idursun/jjui)</summary>

### [`v0.9.11`](https://github.com/idursun/jjui/releases/tag/v0.9.11): 0.9.11

[Compare Source](idursun/jjui@v0.9.10...v0.9.11)

### Release Notes

#### Overview

The underlying view system has gone through an almost complete rewrite ([#&#8203;473](idursun/jjui#473)). This major overhaul enabled us to implement various features that weren't possible before and made most of the UI clickable.

**What's new:**

- Mouse-clickable UI: details panel, evolog, git remotes, bookmark remotes, and more
- Mouse wheel scrolling support across all views
- Foundation for new interactive features like target picker and revset completion box

#### Highlights

##### 🎉 Which-Key Style Status Bar ([#&#8203;503](idursun/jjui#503))

The status bar now works like which-key in Emacs/Vim:

- Dynamically adjusts to window width - shows `?/more` when space is limited
- Press `?` to expand and see all available keybindings
- Works with stacked menus (git, bookmarks) to show context-specific help
- Press `esc` to collapse
- Replaces the old help menu

##### 🎯 Target Picker for Operations (#&#8203;490)
Operations like rebase, new, edit, and squash now support an interactive target picker:
- Press `t` to open the target picker
- Select a revision or type a custom target (bookmark name, change ID, etc.)
- Press enter to execute the command

##### ✨ Enhanced Revset Completion ([#&#8203;510](idursun/jjui#510))

Multi-line revset completion with comprehensive function support:

- Added 16 missing revset functions: `bisect`, `divergent`, `none`, `subject`, `connected`, `heads`, `roots`, `reachable`, `tracked`, `untracked`, `conflict`, `file`, `diff`, `author_date`, `committer_date`, `working_copies`
- Fixed function signatures and renamed `diff_contains` to `diff_lines`
- Shows full completion list when history is empty
- Better visual styling and source-based completion

##### 🔍 Backward Quick Search Navigation (#&#8203;509)
Quick search now supports cycling in both directions:
- Added `quick_search_cycle_back` keybinding (default: `"` which is `Shift+'`)

#### Improvements

- Split/Restore interactive mode ([#&#8203;500](idursun/jjui#500))
- Quit now works from any view without needing to press `ESC` first

#### Bug Fixes

- Preview window now updates after squash operations ([#&#8203;518](idursun/jjui#518))
- Fixed "Change ID prefix is ambiguous" error when abandoning revisions ([#&#8203;517](idursun/jjui#517))

- Confirmation dialog closes immediately after restore ([#&#8203;508](idursun/jjui#508))

- `jj describe -m` now handles messages starting with `-` ([#&#8203;475](idursun/jjui#475))
