Improve type hovers (#9515)

# Description

This PR does a few things to help improve type hovers and, in the
process, fixes a few outstanding issues in the type system. Here's a
list of the changes:

* `for` now will try to infer the type of the iteration variable based
on the expression it's given. This fixes things like `for x in [1, 2, 3]
{ }` where `x` now properly gets the int type.
* Removed old input/output type fields from the signature, focuses on
the vec of signatures. Updated a bunch of dataframe commands that hadn't
moved over. This helps tie things together a bit better
* Fixed inference of types from subexpressions to use the last
expression in the block
* Fixed handling of explicit types in `let` and `mut` calls, so we now
respect that as the authoritative type

I also tried to add `def` input/output type inference, but unfortunately
we only know the predecl types universally, which means we won't have
enough information to properly know what the types of the custom
commands are.

# User-Facing Changes

Script typechecking will get tighter in some cases
Hovers should be more accurate in some cases that previously resorted to
any.

# Tests + Formatting
<!--
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.

Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:

- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo
fmt --all` applies these changes)
- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used -A
clippy::needless_collect -A clippy::result_large_err` to check that
you're using the standard code style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass
- `cargo run -- crates/nu-std/tests/run.nu` to run the tests for the
standard library

> **Note**
> from `nushell` you can also use the `toolkit` as follows
> ```bash
> use toolkit.nu # or use an `env_change` hook to activate it
automatically
> toolkit check pr
> ```
-->

# After Submitting
<!-- If your PR had any user-facing changes, update [the
documentation](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io) after the
PR is merged, if necessary. This will help us keep the docs up to date.
