feat(utilities): Add ranges_to_string_list

Introduce `ranges_to_string_list` for converting numeric ranges into a
list of readable strings. Update the `vid_ranges_list` property and
templates to use this method for better readability and maintainability.
Add related tests to ensure functionality.

Closes #20516
