* Add rest arg to def
This commit applied adds the ability to define the rest parameter of a def
command. It does not implement the functionality to expand the rest argument in
a user defined def function.
The rest argument has to be exactly worded "...rest".
Example after this PR is applied:
file test.nu
```shell
def my_command [
...rest:int # My rest arg
] {
echo 1 2 3
}
```
```shell
> source test.nu
> my_command -h
Usage:
> my_command ...args {flags}
Parameters:
...args: My rest arg
Flags:
-h, --help: Display this help message
```

* move commands, futures.rs, script.rs, utils
* move over maybe_print_errors
* add nu_command crate references to nu_cli
* in commands.rs open up to pub mod from pub(crate)
* nu-cli, nu-command, and nu tests are now passing
* cargo fmt
* clean up nu-cli/src/prelude.rs
* code cleanup
* for some reason lex.rs was not formatted, may be causing my error
* remove mod completion from lib.rs which was not being used along with quickcheck macros
* add in allow unused imports
* comment out one failing external test; comment out one failing internal test
* revert commenting out failing tests; something else might be going on; someone with a windows machine should check and see what is going on with these failing windows tests
* Update Cargo.toml

* Implement Parsing of definition signature
This commit applied changes how the signature of a function is parsed. Before
there was a little bit of "quick-and-dirty" string-matching/parsing involved.
Now, a signature is a little bit more properly parsed.
The grammar of a definition signature understood by these parsing-functions is
as follows:
`[ (parameter | flag | <eol>)* ]`
where
parameter is:
`name (<:> type)? (<,> | <eol> | (#Comment <eol>))?`
flag is:
`--name (-shortform)? (<:> type)? (<,> | <eol> | (#Comment <eol>))?`
(Note: After the last item no <,> has to come.)
Note: It is now possible to pass comments to flags and parameters
Example:
[
d:int # The required d parameter
--x (-x):string # The all powerful x flag
--y (-y):int # The accompanying y flag
]
(Sadly there seems to be a bug (Or is this expected behaviour?) in the lexer, because of which `--x(-x)` would
be treated as one baseline token and is therefore not correctly recognized as 2. For
now a space has to be inserted)
During the implementation of the module, 2 question arose:
Should flag/parameter names be allowed to be type names?
Example case:
```shell
def f [ string ] { echo $string }
```
Currently an error is thrown
* Fix clippy lints
* Remove wrong comment
* Add spacing
* Add Cargo.lock
* move basic_shell_manager to nu-engine
* move basic_evaluation_context to nu-engine
* fix failing test in feature which commands/classified/external.rs
We split off the evaluation engine part of nu-cli into its own crate. This helps improve build times for nu-cli by 17% in my tests. It also helps us see a bit better what's the core engine portion vs the part specific to the interactive CLI piece.
There's more than can be done here, but I think it's a good start in the right direction.
