# Description
Adds subcommands to `sys` corresponding to each column of the record
returned by `sys`. This is to alleviate the fact that `sys` now returns
a regular record, meaning that it must compute every column which might
take a noticeable amount of time. The subcommands, on the other hand,
only need to compute and return a subset of the data which should be
much faster. In fact, it should be as fast as before, since this is how
the lazy record worked (it would compute only each column as necessary).
I choose to add subcommands instead of having an optional cell-path
parameter on `sys`, since the cell-path parameter would:
- increase the code complexity (can access any value at any row or
nested column)
- prevents discovery with tab-completion
- hinders type checking and allows users to pass potentially invalid
columns
# User-Facing Changes
Deprecates `sys` in favor of the new `sys` subcommands.

## About the code change
It applys the same logic when we pass variables to external commands:
0487e9ffcb/crates/nu-command/src/system/run_external.rs (L162-L170)
That is: if user input dynamic things(like variables, sub-expression, or
string interpolation), it returns a quoted `NuPath`, then user input
won't be globbed
# User-Facing Changes
Given two input files: `a*c.txt`, `abc.txt`
* `let f = "a*c.txt"; rm $f` will remove one file: `a*c.txt`.
~* `let f = "a*c.txt"; rm --glob $f` will remove `a*c.txt` and
`abc.txt`~
* `let f: glob = "a*c.txt"; rm $f` will remove `a*c.txt` and `abc.txt`
## Rules about globbing with *variable*
Given two files: `a*c.txt`, `abc.txt`
| Cmd Type | example | Result |
| ----- | ------------------ | ------ |
| builtin | let f = "a*c.txt"; rm $f | remove `a*c.txt` |
| builtin | let f: glob = "a*c.txt"; rm $f | remove `a*c.txt` and
`abc.txt`
| builtin | let f = "a*c.txt"; rm ($f \| into glob) | remove `a*c.txt`
and `abc.txt`
| custom | def crm [f: glob] { rm $f }; let f = "a*c.txt"; crm $f |
remove `a*c.txt` and `abc.txt`
| custom | def crm [f: glob] { rm ($f \| into string) }; let f =
"a*c.txt"; crm $f | remove `a*c.txt`
| custom | def crm [f: string] { rm $f }; let f = "a*c.txt"; crm $f |
remove `a*c.txt`
| custom | def crm [f: string] { rm $f }; let f = "a*c.txt"; crm ($f \|
into glob) | remove `a*c.txt` and `abc.txt`
In general, if a variable is annotated with `glob` type, nushell will
expand glob pattern. Or else, we need to use `into | glob` to expand
glob pattern
# Tests + Formatting
Done
# After Submitting
I think `str glob-escape` command will be no-longer required. We can
remove it.

# Description
this PR hides the `std testing` module from the outside.
- moves `nu-std/std/testing.nu` to `nu-std/testing.nu`
- removes the module from the standard library list of modules to parse
- fixes `toolkit.nu` and the CI
# User-Facing Changes
`std testing` won't be part of the standard library anymore.
