Make consult-buffer-other-window accept the universal argument to open in a vertical split rather than a horizontal split.

[NU11V01D]

Greetings @minad and the rest of the wonderful consult community!

I use consult-buffer-other-window a lot, and I often find myself wanting to open a new buffer in a vertical split window but accidentally doing it in a horizontal one. I made a rudimentary implementation defining a function that replaced the split-window-bottom of consult-buffer-other-window with split-window-right (the default action of C-x 3). But then I thought we could make C-u make consult-buffer-other-window make a vertical split instead - which would be cleaner and wouldn't require duplicating a function with just one different parameter like I did. I have something in the works for a PR, but I'd like to know your overall thoughts in this feature before submitting it, or if you'd rather have that as a configuration example on the Wiki.
