Declare input and output types of commands (#6796)

* Add failing test that list of ints and floats is List<Number>

* Start defining subtype relation

* Make it possible to declare input and output types for commands

- Enforce them in tests

* Declare input and output types of commands

* Add formatted signatures to `help commands` table

* Revert SyntaxShape::Table -> Type::Table change

* Revert unnecessary derive(Hash) on SyntaxShape
