fix(gui): equal-width compare panes and restore overview ruler

The side-by-side Compare SplitView set fillWidth on both panes, which Qt
distributes unevenly, so a fresh compare opened with the left pane far
wider than the right. Give the left pane an explicit half of the space
left after the overview ruler and let the right pane fill the remainder.

A stray brace also closed the SplitView one element early, orphaning the
diff overview ruler into the parent ColumnLayout, where it stacked below
the panes instead of beside them. Move overviewPane back inside the
SplitView as its third child.

Bump version to 1.16.2 and sync packaging recipes + changelogs.
