Standardise the use of ShellError::UnsupportedInput and ShellError::TypeMismatch and add spans to every instance of the former (#7217)

# Description

* I was dismayed to discover recently that UnsupportedInput and
TypeMismatch are used *extremely* inconsistently across the codebase.
UnsupportedInput is sometimes used for input type-checks (as per the
name!!), but *also* used for argument type-checks. TypeMismatch is also
used for both.
I thus devised the following standard: input type-checking *only* uses
UnsupportedInput, and argument type-checking *only* uses TypeMismatch.
Moreover, to differentiate them, UnsupportedInput now has *two* error
arrows (spans), one pointing at the command and the other at the input
origin, while TypeMismatch only has the one (because the command should
always be nearby)
* In order to apply that standard, a very large number of
UnsupportedInput uses were changed so that the input's span could be
retrieved and delivered to it.
* Additionally, I noticed many places where **errors are not propagated
correctly**: there are lots of `match` sites which take a Value::Error,
then throw it away and replace it with a new Value::Error with
less/misleading information (such as reporting the error as an
"incorrect type"). I believe that the earliest errors are the most
important, and should always be propagated where possible.
* Also, to standardise one broad subset of UnsupportedInput error
messages, who all used slightly different wordings of "expected
`<type>`, got `<type>`", I created OnlySupportsThisInputType as a
variant of it.
* Finally, a bunch of error sites that had "repeated spans" - i.e. where
an error expected two spans, but `call.head` was given for both - were
fixed to use different spans.

# User-Facing Changes

Various error messages suddenly make more sense (i.e. have two arrows
instead of one).

# 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` to check that you're using the standard code
style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass

# 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.
