Rework help generation internals (#13531)
Reworking some of the sprawling code we use to generate the `help cmd`
or `cmd --help` output.

This touches mainly the rendering and not the gathering of the necessary
data (see open bugs under
[label:help-system](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues?q=sort%3Aupdated-desc+is%3Aopen+label%3Ahelp-system))

Fixes #9076 
Fixes the syntax shape output on flags to be consistent.

## Example
```nushell
def test [
  positional: int,
  documented: float, # this has documentation
  default = 50,
  optional?,
  --a = "bla",
  --bla (-b) = "bla", # named with default
] {}
```

feat: make ctrlc available to plugins (#13181)
# Description

This PR adds a new method to `EngineInterface`: `register_ctrlc_handler`
which takes a closure to run when the plugin's driving engine receives a
ctrlc-signal. It also adds a mirror of the `signals` attribute from the
main shell `EngineState`.

This is an example of how a plugin which makes a long poll http request
can end the request on ctrlc:
https://github.com/cablehead/nu_plugin_http/blob/main/src/commands/request.rs#L68-L77

To facilitate the feature, a new attribute has been added to
`EngineState`: `ctrlc_handlers`. This is a Vec of closures that will be
run when the engine's process receives a ctrlc signal.

When plugins are added to an `engine_state` during a `merge_delta`, the
engine passes the ctrlc_handlers to the plugin's
`.configure_ctrlc_handler` method, which gives the plugin a chance to
register a handler that sends a ctrlc packet through the
`PluginInterface`, if an instance of the plugin is currently running.

On the plugin side: `EngineInterface` also has a ctrlc_handlers Vec of
closures. Plugin calls can use `register_ctrlc_handler` to register a
closure that will be called in the plugin process when the
PluginInput::Ctrlc command is received.

For future reference these are some alternate places that were
investigated for tying the ctrlc trigger to transmitting a Ctrlc packet
through the `PluginInterface`:

- Directly from `src/signals.rs`: the handler there would need a
reference to the Vec<Arc<RegisteredPlugins>>, which would require us to
wrap the plugins in a Mutex, which we don't want to do.

- have `PersistentPlugin.get_plugin` pass down the engine's
CtrlcHandlers to .get and then to .spawn (if the plugin isn't already
running). Once we have CtrlcHandlers in spawn, we can register a handler
to write directly to PluginInterface. We don't want to double down on
passing engine_state to spawn this way though, as it's unpredictable
because it would depend on whether the plugin has already been spawned
or not.

- pass `ctrlc_handlers` to PersistentPlugin::new so it can store it on
itself so it's available to spawn.

- in `PersistentPlugin.spawn`, create a handler that sends to a clone of
the GC event loop's tx. this has the same issues with regards to how to
get CtrlcHandlers to the spawn method, and is more complicated than a
handler that writes directly to PluginInterface

Fix bad method links in docstrings (#13471)
# Description

Seems like I developed a bit of a bad habit of trying to link

```rust
/// [`.foo()`]
```

in docstrings, and this just doesn't work automatically; you have to do 

```rust
/// [`.foo()`](Self::foo)
```

if you want it to actually link. I think I found and replaced all of
these.

Make plugins able to find and call other commands (#13407)
# Description

Adds functionality to the plugin interface to support calling internal
commands from plugins. For example, using `view ir --json`:

```rust
let closure: Value = call.req(0)?;

let Some(decl_id) = engine.find_decl("view ir")? else {
    return Err(LabeledError::new("`view ir` not found"));
};

let ir_json = engine.call_decl(
    decl_id,
    EvaluatedCall::new(call.head)
        .with_named("json".into_spanned(call.head), Value::bool(true, call.head))
        .with_positional(closure),
    PipelineData::Empty,
    true,
    false,
)?.into_value()?.into_string()?;

let ir = serde_json::from_value(&ir_json);

// ...
```

# User-Facing Changes

Plugin developers can now use `EngineInterface::find_decl()` and
`call_decl()` to call internal commands, which could be handy for
formatters like `to csv` or `to nuon`, or for reflection commands that
help gain insight into the engine.

Update config directly at assignment (#13332)
# Description

Allows `Stack` to have a modified local `Config`, which is updated
immediately when `$env.config` is assigned to. This means that even
within a script, commands that come after `$env.config` changes will
always see those changes in `Stack::get_config()`.

Also fixed a lot of cases where `engine_state.get_config()` was used
even when `Stack` was available.

Closes #13324.

# User-Facing Changes
- Config changes apply immediately after the assignment is executed,
rather than whenever config is read by a command that needs it.
- Potentially slower performance when executing a lot of lines that
change `$env.config` one after another. Recommended to get `$env.config`
into a `mut` variable first and do modifications, then assign it back.
- Much faster performance when executing a script that made
modifications to `$env.config`, as the changes are only parsed once.

# Tests + Formatting
All passing.

Add and use new Signals struct (#13314)
# Description
This PR introduces a new `Signals` struct to replace our adhoc passing
around of `ctrlc: Option<Arc<AtomicBool>>`. Doing so has a few benefits:
- We can better enforce when/where resetting or triggering an interrupt
is allowed.
- Consolidates `nu_utils::ctrl_c::was_pressed` and other ad-hoc
re-implementations into a single place: `Signals::check`.
- This allows us to add other types of signals later if we want. E.g.,
exiting or suspension.
- Similarly, we can more easily change the underlying implementation if
we need to in the future.
- Places that used to have a `ctrlc` of `None` now use
`Signals::empty()`, so we can double check these usages for correctness
in the future.

Allow plugins to report their own version and store it in the registry (#12883)
# Description

This allows plugins to report their version (and potentially other
metadata in the future). The version is shown in `plugin list` and in
`version`.

The metadata is stored in the registry file, and reflects whatever was
retrieved on `plugin add`, not necessarily the running binary. This can
help you to diagnose if there's some kind of mismatch with what you
expect. We could potentially use this functionality to show a warning or
error if a plugin being run does not have the same version as what was
in the cache file, suggesting `plugin add` be run again, but I haven't
done that at this point.

It is optional, and it requires the plugin author to make some code
changes if they want to provide it, since I can't automatically
determine the version of the calling crate or anything tricky like that
to do it.

Example:

```
> plugin list | select name version is_running pid
╭───┬────────────────┬─────────┬────────────┬─────╮
│ # │      name      │ version │ is_running │ pid │
├───┼────────────────┼─────────┼────────────┼─────┤
│ 0 │ example        │ 0.93.1  │ false      │     │
│ 1 │ gstat          │ 0.93.1  │ false      │     │
│ 2 │ inc            │ 0.93.1  │ false      │     │
│ 3 │ python_example │ 0.1.0   │ false      │     │

Add string/binary type color to ByteStream (#12897)
# Description

This PR allows byte streams to optionally be colored as being
specifically binary or string data, which guarantees that they'll be
converted to `Binary` or `String` appropriately on `into_value()`,
making them compatible with `Type` guarantees. This makes them
significantly more broadly usable for command input and output.

There is still an `Unknown` type for byte streams coming from external
commands, which uses the same behavior as we previously did where it's a
string if it's UTF-8.

A small number of commands were updated to take advantage of this, just
to prove the point. I will be adding more after this merges.

# User-Facing Changes
- New types in `describe`: `string (stream)`, `binary (stream)`
- These commands now return a stream if their input was a stream:
  - `into binary`
  - `into string`
  - `bytes collect`
  - `str join`
  - `first` (binary)
  - `last` (binary)
  - `take` (binary)
  - `skip` (binary)
- Streams that are explicitly binary colored will print as a streaming
hexdump
  - example:
    ```nushell
    1.. | each { into binary } | bytes collect
    ```

# Tests + Formatting
I've added some tests to cover it at a basic level, and it doesn't break
anything existing, but I do think more would be nice. Some of those will
come when I modify more commands to stream.

# After Submitting
There are a few things I'm not quite satisfied with:

- **String trimming behavior.** We automatically trim newlines from
streams from external commands, but I don't think we should do this with
internal commands. If I call a command that happens to turn my string
into a stream, I don't want the newline to suddenly disappear. I changed
this to specifically do it only on `Child` and `File`, but I don't know
if this is quite right, and maybe we should bring back the old flag for
`trim_end_newline`
- **Known binary always resulting in a hexdump.** It would be nice to
have a `print --raw`, so that we can put binary data on stdout
explicitly if we want to. This PR doesn't change how external commands
work though - they still dump straight to stdout.

Otherwise, here's the normal checklist:

- [ ] release notes
- [ ] docs update for plugin protocol changes (added `type` field)

Replace ExternalStream with new ByteStream type (#12774)
# Description
This PR introduces a `ByteStream` type which is a `Read`-able stream of
bytes. Internally, it has an enum over three different byte stream
sources:
```rust
pub enum ByteStreamSource {
    Read(Box<dyn Read + Send + 'static>),
    File(File),
    Child(ChildProcess),
}
```

This is in comparison to the current `RawStream` type, which is an
`Iterator<Item = Vec<u8>>` and has to allocate for each read chunk.

Currently, `PipelineData::ExternalStream` serves a weird dual role where
it is either external command output or a wrapper around `RawStream`.
`ByteStream` makes this distinction more clear (via `ByteStreamSource`)
and replaces `PipelineData::ExternalStream` in this PR:
```rust
pub enum PipelineData {
    Empty,
    Value(Value, Option<PipelineMetadata>),
    ListStream(ListStream, Option<PipelineMetadata>),
    ByteStream(ByteStream, Option<PipelineMetadata>),
}
```

The PR is relatively large, but a decent amount of it is just repetitive
changes.

This PR fixes #7017, fixes #10763, and fixes #12369.

This PR also improves performance when piping external commands. Nushell
should, in most cases, have competitive pipeline throughput compared to,
e.g., bash.
| Command | Before (MB/s) | After (MB/s) | Bash (MB/s) |
| -------------------------------------------------- | -------------:|
------------:| -----------:|
| `throughput \| rg 'x'` | 3059 | 3744 | 3739 |
| `throughput \| nu --testbin relay o> /dev/null` | 3508 | 8087 | 8136 |

# User-Facing Changes
- This is a breaking change for the plugin communication protocol,
because the `ExternalStreamInfo` was replaced with `ByteStreamInfo`.
Plugins now only have to deal with a single input stream, as opposed to
the previous three streams: stdout, stderr, and exit code.
- The output of `describe` has been changed for external/byte streams.
- Temporary breaking change: `bytes starts-with` no longer works with
byte streams. This is to keep the PR smaller, and `bytes ends-with`
already does not work on byte streams.
- If a process core dumped, then instead of having a `Value::Error` in
the `exit_code` column of the output returned from `complete`, it now is
a `Value::Int` with the negation of the signal number.

# After Submitting
- Update docs and book as necessary
- Release notes (e.g., plugin protocol changes)
- Adapt/convert commands to work with byte streams (high priority is
`str length`, `bytes starts-with`, and maybe `bytes ends-with`).
- Refactor the `tee` code, Devyn has already done some work on this.

Make the message when running a plugin exe directly clearer (#12806)
# Description

This changes the message that shows up when running a plugin executable
directly rather than as a plugin to direct the user to run `plugin add
--help`, which should have enough information to figure out what's going
on. The message previously just vaguely suggested that the user needs to
run the plugin "from within Nushell", which is not really enough - it
has to be added with `plugin add` to be used as a plugin.

Also fix docs for `plugin add` to mention `plugin use` rather than
`register` (oops)

ListStream touchup (#12524)
# Description

Does some misc changes to `ListStream`:
- Moves it into its own module/file separate from `RawStream`.
- `ListStream`s now have an associated `Span`.
- This required changes to `ListStreamInfo` in `nu-plugin`. Note sure if
this is a breaking change for the plugin protocol.
- Hides the internals of `ListStream` but also adds a few more methods.
- This includes two functions to more easily alter a stream (these take
a `ListStream` and return a `ListStream` instead of having to go through
the whole `into_pipeline_data(..)` route).
  -  `map`: takes a `FnMut(Value) -> Value`
  - `modify`: takes a function to modify the inner stream.

Flush on every plugin Data message (#12728)
# Description

This helps to ensure data produced on a stream is immediately available
to the consumer of the stream. The BufWriter introduced for performance
reasons in 0.93 exposed the behavior that data messages wouldn't make it
to the other side until they filled the buffer in @cablehead's
[`nu_plugin_from_sse`](https://github.com/cablehead/nu_plugin_from_sse).

I had originally not flushed on every `Data` message because I figured
that it isn't really critical that the other side sees those messages
immediately, since they're not used for control and they are flushed
when waiting for acknowledgement or when the buffer is too full anyway.

Increasing the amount of data that can be sent with a single underlying
write increases performance, but this interferes with some plugins that
want to use streams in a more real-time way. In the future I would like
to make this configurable, maybe even per-command, so that a command can
decide what the priority is. But for now I think this is reasonable.

In the worst case, this decreases performance by about 40%, when sending
very small values (just numbers). But for larger values, this PR
actually increases performance by about 20%, because I've increased the
buffer size about 2x to 16,384 bytes. The previous value of 8,192 bytes
was too small to fit a full buffer coming from an external command, so
doubling it makes sense, and now a write of a buffer from an external
command can be done in exactly one write call, which I think makes
sense. I'm doing this at the same time because flushing each data
message would make it very likely that each individual data message from
an external stream would require exactly two writes rather than
approximately one (amortized).

Again, hopefully the tradeoff isn't too bad, and if it is I'll just make
it configurable.

- Performance of plugin streams will be a bit different
- Plugins that expect to send streams in real-time will work again

Split the plugin crate (#12563)
# Description

This breaks `nu-plugin` up into four crates:

- `nu-plugin-protocol`: just the type definitions for the protocol, no
I/O. If someone wanted to wire up something more bare metal, maybe for
async I/O, they could use this.
- `nu-plugin-core`: the shared stuff between engine/plugin. Less stable
interface.
- `nu-plugin-engine`: everything required for the engine to talk to
plugins. Less stable interface.
- `nu-plugin`: everything required for the plugin to talk to the engine,
what plugin developers use. Should be the most stable interface.

No changes are made to the interface exposed by `nu-plugin` - it should
all still be there. Re-exports from `nu-plugin-protocol` or
`nu-plugin-core` are used as required. Plugins shouldn't ever have to
use those crates directly.

This should be somewhat faster to compile as `nu-plugin-engine` and
`nu-plugin` can compile in parallel, and the engine doesn't need
`nu-plugin` and plugins don't need `nu-plugin-engine` (except for test
support), so that should reduce what needs to be compiled too.

The only significant change here other than splitting stuff up was to
break the `source` out of `PluginCustomValue` and create a new
`PluginCustomValueWithSource` type that contains that instead. One bonus
of that is we get rid of the option and it's now more type-safe, but it
also means that the logic for that stuff (actually running the plugin
for custom value ops) can live entirely within the `nu-plugin-engine`
crate.

# User-Facing Changes
- New crates.
- Added `local-socket` feature for `nu` to try to make it possible to
compile without that support if needed.

Add plugin error propagation on write/flush (#12670)
# Description
Yet another attempt to fix the `stress_internals::test_wrong_version()`
test...

This time I think it's probably because we are getting a broken pipe
write error when we try to send `Hello` or perhaps something after it,
because the pipe has already been closed by the reader when it saw the
invalid version. In that case, an error should be available in state. It
probably makes more sense to send that back to the user rather than an
unhelpful I/O error.

Fix (and test) for a deadlock that can happen while waiting for protocol info (#12633)
# Description

The local socket PR introduced a `Waitable` type, which could either
hold a value or be waited on until a value is available. Unlike a
channel, it would always return that value once set.

However, one issue with this design was that there was no way to detect
whether a value would ever be written. This splits the writer into a
different type `WaitableMut`, so that when it is dropped, waiting
threads can fail (because they'll never get a value).

# Tests + Formatting

A test has been added to `stress_internals` to make sure this fails in
the right way.

Fix error message propagation on plugin call failure (#12632)
# Description

This should fix the sometimes failing wrong version test for
stress_internals.

The plugin interface state stores an error if some kind of critical
error happened, and this error should be propagated to any future
operations on the interface, but this wasn't being propagated to plugin
calls that were already waiting.

During plugin registration, the wrong version error needs to be received
as a response to the `get_signature()` to show up properly, but this
would only happen if `get_signature()` started after the `Hello` was
already received and processed. That would be a race condition, which
this commit solves.

cc @sholderbach - this should fix the CI issue

Deprecate register and add plugin use (#12607)
# Description

Adds a new keyword, `plugin use`. Unlike `register`, this merely loads
the signatures from the plugin cache file. The file is configurable with
the `--plugin-config` option either to `nu` or to `plugin use` itself,
just like the other `plugin` family of commands. At the REPL, one might
do this to replace `register`:

```nushell
> plugin add ~/.cargo/bin/nu_plugin_foo
> plugin use foo
```

This will not work in a script, because `plugin use` is a keyword and
`plugin add` does not evaluate at parse time (intentionally). This means
we no longer run random binaries during parse.

The `--plugins` option has been added to allow running `nu` with certain
plugins in one step. This is used especially for the `nu_with_plugins!`
test macro, but I'd imagine is generally useful. The only weird quirk is
that it has to be a list, and we don't really do this for any of our
other CLI args at the moment.

`register` now prints a deprecation parse warning.

This should fix #11923, as we now have a complete alternative to
`register`.

# User-Facing Changes

- Add `plugin use` command
- Deprecate `register`
- Add `--plugins` option to `nu` to replace a common use of `register`

# Tests + Formatting

I think I've tested it thoroughly enough and every existing test passes.
Testing nu CLI options and alternate config files is a little hairy and
I wish there were some more generic helpers for this, so this will go on
my TODO list for refactoring.

Refactor using ClosureEval types (#12541)
# Description
Adds two new types in `nu-engine` for evaluating closures: `ClosureEval`
and `ClosureEvalOnce`. This removed some duplicate code and centralizes
our logic for setting up, running, and cleaning up closures. For
example, in the future if we are able to reduce the cloning necessary to
run a closure, then we only have to change the code related to these
types.

`ClosureEval` and `ClosureEvalOnce` are designed with a builder API.
`ClosureEval` is used to run a closure multiple times whereas
`ClosureEvalOnce` is used for a one-shot closure.

# User-Facing Changes
Should be none, unless I messed up one of the command migrations.
Actually, this will fix any unreported environment bugs for commands
that didn't reset the env after running a closure.

Overhaul the plugin cache file with a new msgpack+brotli format (#12579)
# Description

- Plugin signatures are now saved to `plugin.msgpackz`, which is
brotli-compressed MessagePack.
- The file is updated incrementally, rather than writing all plugin
commands in the engine every time.
- The file always contains the result of the `Signature` call to the
plugin, even if commands were removed.
- Invalid data for a particular plugin just causes an error to be
reported, but the rest of the plugins can still be parsed

# User-Facing Changes

- The plugin file has a different filename, and it's not a nushell
script.
- The default `plugin.nu` file will be automatically migrated the first
time, but not other plugin config files.
- We don't currently provide any utilities that could help edit this
file, beyond `plugin add` and `plugin rm`
  - `from msgpackz`, `to msgpackz` could also help
- New commands: `plugin add`, `plugin rm`

Tests added for the format and for the invalid handling.

Switch plugin msgpack protocol to named format (#12580)
# Description
In conflict with the documentation, the msgpack serializer for plugins
is actually using the compact format, which doesn't name struct fields,
and is instead dependent on their ordering, rendering them as tuples.
This is not a good idea for a robust protocol even if it makes the
serialization and deserialization faster.

I expect this to have some impact on performance, but I think the
robustness is probably worth it.

Deserialization always accepts either format, so this shouldn't cause
too many incompatibilities.

# User-Facing Changes
This does technically change the protocol, but it makes it reflect the
documentation. It shouldn't break deserialization, so plugins shouldn't
necessarily need a recompile.

Performance is likely worse and I should benchmark the difference.

Add an example Nushell plugin written in Nushell itself (#12574)
# Description

As suggested by @fdncred.

It's neat that this is possible, but the particularly useful part of
this is that we can actually
test it because it doesn't have any external dependencies, unlike the
python plugin.

Right now this just implements exactly the same behavior as the python
plugin, but we could have it
exercise a few more things.

Also fixes a couple of bugs:

- `.nu` plugins were not run with `nu --stdin`, so they couldn't take
input.
- `register` couldn't be called if `--no-config-file` was set, because
it would error on trying to
  update the plugin file.

# User-Facing Changes

- `nu_plugin_nu_example` plugin added.
- `register` now works in `--no-config-file` mode.

Add a panic unwind handler during plugin calls (#12526)
# Description
If a panic happens during a plugin call, because it always happens
outside of the main thread, it currently just hangs Nushell because the
plugin stays running without ever producing a response to the call.

This adds a panic handler that calls `exit(1)` after the unwind finishes
to the plugin runner. The panic error is still printed to stderr as
always, and waiting for the unwind to finish helps to ensure that
anything on the stack with `Drop` behavior that needed to run still
runs, at least on that thread.

# User-Facing Changes
Panics now look like this, which is what they looked like before the
plugin behavior was moved to a separate thread:

```
thread 'plugin runner (primary)' panicked at crates/nu_plugin_example/src/commands/main.rs:45:9:
Test panic
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
Error: nu:🐚:plugin_failed_to_decode

Local socket mode and foreground terminal control for plugins (#12448)
# Description

Adds support for running plugins using local socket communication
instead of stdio. This will be an optional thing that not all plugins
have to support.

This frees up stdio for use to make plugins that use stdio to create
terminal UIs, cc @amtoine, @fdncred.

This uses the [`interprocess`](https://crates.io/crates/interprocess)
crate (298 stars, MIT license, actively maintained), which seems to be
the best option for cross-platform local socket support in Rust. On
Windows, a local socket name is provided. On Unixes, it's a path. The
socket name is kept to a relatively small size because some operating
systems have pretty strict limits on the whole path (~100 chars), so on
macOS for example we prefer `/tmp/nu.{pid}.{hash64}.sock` where the hash
includes the plugin filename and timestamp to be unique enough.

This also adds an API for moving plugins in and out of the foreground
group, which is relevant for Unixes where direct terminal control
depends on that.

TODO:

- [x] Generate local socket path according to OS conventions
- [x] Add support for passing `--local-socket` to the plugin executable
instead of `--stdio`, and communicating over that instead
- [x] Test plugins that were broken, including
[amtoine/nu_plugin_explore](https://github.com/amtoine/nu_plugin_explore)
- [x] Automatically upgrade to using local sockets when supported,
falling back if it doesn't work, transparently to the user without any
visible error messages
  - Added protocol feature: `LocalSocket`
- [x] Reset preferred mode to `None` on `register`
- [x] Allow plugins to detect whether they're running on a local socket
and can use stdio freely, so that TUI plugins can just produce an error
message otherwise
  - Implemented via `EngineInterface::is_using_stdio()`
- [x] Clean up foreground state when plugin command exits on the engine
side too, not just whole plugin
- [x] Make sure tests for failure cases work as intended
  - `nu_plugin_stress_internals` added

Improve error messages for plugin protocol by removing #[serde(untagged)] (#12510)
# Description

In the plugin protocol, I had used `#[serde(untagged)]` on the `Stream`
variant to make it smaller and include all of the stream messages at the
top level, but unfortunately this causes serde to make really unhelpful
errors if anything fails to decode anywhere:

```
Error: nu:🐚:plugin_failed_to_decode

  × Plugin failed to decode: data did not match any variant of untagged enum PluginOutput
```

If you are trying to develop something using the plugin protocol
directly, this error is incredibly unhelpful. Even as a user, this
basically just says 'something is wrong'. With this change, the errors
are much better:

```
Error: nu:🐚:plugin_failed_to_decode

  × Plugin failed to decode: unknown variant `PipelineDatra`, expected one of `Error`, `Signature`, `Ordering`, `PipelineData` at line 2 column 37
```

The only downside is it means I have to duplicate all of the
`StreamMessage` variants manually, but there's only 4 of them and
they're small.

This doesn't actually change the protocol at all - everything is still
identical on the wire.

Copy-on-write for record values (#12305)
# Description
This adds a `SharedCow` type as a transparent copy-on-write pointer that
clones to unique on mutate.

As an initial test, the `Record` within `Value::Record` is shared.

There are some pretty big wins for performance. I'll post benchmark
results in a comment. The biggest winner is nested access, as that would
have cloned the records for each cell path follow before and it doesn't
have to anymore.

The reusability of the `SharedCow` type is nice and I think it could be
used to clean up the previous work I did with `Arc` in `EngineState`.
It's meant to be a mostly transparent clone-on-write that just clones on
`.to_mut()` or `.into_owned()` if there are actually multiple
references, but avoids cloning if the reference is unique.

Rename IoStream to OutDest (#12433)
# Description
I spent a while trying to come up with a good name for what is currently
`IoStream`. Looking back, this name is not the best, because it:
1. Implies that it is a stream, when it all it really does is specify
the output destination for a stream/pipeline.
2. Implies that it handles input and output, when it really only handles
output.

So, this PR renames `IoStream` to `OutDest` instead, which should be
more clear.

Add GetSpanContents engine call (#12439)
# Description
This allows plugins to view the source code of spans.

Requested by @ayax79 for implementing `polars ls`. Note that this won't
really help you find the location of the span. I'm planning to add
another engine call that will return information more similar to what
shows up in the miette diagnostics, with filename / line number / some
context, but I'll want to refactor some of the existing logic to make
that happen, so it was easier to just do this first. I hope this is
enough to at least have something somewhat useful show up for `polars
ls`.

This speeds up writing messages to the plugin, because otherwise every

Improve handling of custom values in plugin examples (#12409)
# Description
Requested by @ayax79. This makes the custom value behavior more correct,
by calling the methods on the plugin to handle the custom values in
examples rather than the methods on the custom values themselves. This
helps for handle-type custom values (like what he's doing with
dataframes).

- Equality checking in `PluginTest::test_examples()` changed to use
`PluginInterface::custom_value_partial_cmp()`
- Base value rendering for `PluginSignature` changed to use
`Plugin::custom_value_to_base_value()`
- Had to be moved closer to `serve_plugin` for this reason, so the test
for writing signatures containing custom values was removed
- That behavior should still be tested to some degree, since if custom
values are not handled, signatures will fail to parse, so all of the
other tests won't work.

# User-Facing Changes

- `Record::sort_cols()` method added to share functionality required by
`PartialCmp`, and it might also be slightly faster
- Otherwise, everything should mostly be the same but better. Plugins
that don't implement special handling for custom values will still work
the same way, because the default implementation is just a pass-through
to the `CustomValue` methods.

Fix deadlock on PluginCustomValue drop (#12418)
# Description
Because the plugin interface reader thread can be responsible for
sending a drop notification, it's possible for it to end up in a
deadlock where it's waiting for the response to the drop notification
call.

I decided that the best way to address this is to just discard the
response and not wait for it. It's not really important to synchronize
with the response to `Dropped`, so this is probably faster anyway.

cc @ayax79, this is your issue where polars is getting stuck

# User-Facing Changes
