Provide more directories autocomplete for "overlay use" (#15057)

## Description

- Fixes #12891
- An escape for #12835

Currently, Nushell is not very friendly to Python workflow, because
Python developers very often need to activate a virtual environment, and
in some workflow, the _activate.nu_ script is not near to "current
working directory" (especially ones who use
[virtualenvwrapper](https://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)
and [Poetry](https://python-poetry.org/)), and hence, is not
auto-completed for `overlay use`.
Though Nu v0.102.0 has improved auto-complete for `overlay use`, it
doesn't work if user starts the file path with `~` or `/`, like:

```nu
> overlay use /h
```
```nu
> overlay use ~/W
```
