Modify split_bash_commands to filter out comment-only commands

- Changed split_bash_commands to only return non-comment commands
- This eliminates the need to filter comment-only commands in calling code
- Preserves backward compatibility for comment-only input (returns as single command)
- Handles mixed commands by filtering out standalone comment lines
- Commands with inline comments are preserved as-is
- All existing tests continue to pass
- Fixed formatting in related test files
