To be able to implement #5978, split container nodes need to be able to be passed to Lua. We could pass pointers, but that could result in a use-after-free. The object passed to Lua has to somehow know that a container node is no longer with us. We can do this with shared pointers (by giving Lua a weak reference to a node)
This PR refactors split nodes to use shared pointers to decouple from the Lua implementation.
