Closes#7581.
After this PR, `describe` shows `(stream)` next to input that arrived at
`describe` as a `ListStream`:
```bash
〉ls | describe
table<name: string, type: string, size: filesize, modified: date> (stream)
〉[1 2 3] | each {|i| $i} | describe
list<int> (stream)
```
`describe` must collect all items of the stream to display type
information for lists and tables. If users need to avoid collecting
input, they can use the `-n`/`--no-collect` flag:
```bash
〉[1 2 3] | each {|i| $i} | describe --no-collect
stream
```

# Description
Inspired by #7592
For brevity use `Value::test_{string,int,float,bool}`
Includes fixes to commands that were abusing `Span::test_data` in their
implementation. Now the call span is used where possible or the explicit
`Span::unknonw` is used.
## Command fixes
- Fix abuse of `Span::test_data()` in `query_xml`
- Fix abuse of `Span::test_data()` in `term size`
- Fix abuse of `Span::test_data()` in `seq date`
- Fix two abuses of `Span::test_data` in `nu-cli`
- Change `Span::test_data` to `Span::unknown` in `keybindings listen`
- Add proper call span to `registry query`
- Fix span use in `nu_plugin_query`
- Fix span assignment in `select`
- Use `Span::unknown` instead of `test_data` in more places
## Other
- Use `Value::test_int`/`test_float()` consistently
- More `test_string` and `test_bool`
- Fix unused imports

# 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.

# Description
Closes#6909. You can now add closures to your `color_config` themes.
Whenever a value would be printed with `table`, the closure is run with
the value piped-in. The closure must return either a {fg,bg,attr} record
or a color name (`'light_red'` etc.). This returned style is used to
colour the value.
This is entirely backwards-compatible with existing config.nu files.
Example code excerpt:
```
let my_theme = {
header: green_bold
bool: { if $in { 'light_cyan' } else { 'light_red' } }
int: purple_bold
filesize: { |e| if $e == 0b { 'gray' } else if $e < 1mb { 'purple_bold' } else { 'cyan_bold' } }
duration: purple_bold
date: { (date now) - $in | if $in > 1wk { 'cyan_bold' } else if $in > 1day { 'green_bold' } else { 'yellow_bold' } }
range: yellow_bold
string: { if $in =~ '^#\w{6}$' { $in } else { 'white' } }
nothing: white
```
Example output with this in effect:



Slightly important notes:
* Some color_config names, namely "separator", "empty" and "hints", pipe
in `null` instead of a value.
* Currently, doing anything non-trivial inside a closure has an
understandably big perf hit. I currently do not actually recommend
something like `string: { if $in =~ '^#\w{6}$' { $in } else { 'white' }
}` for serious work, mainly because of the abundance of string-type data
in the world. Nevertheless, lesser-used types like "date" and "duration"
work well with this.
* I had to do some reorganisation in order to make it possible to call
`eval_block()` that late in table rendering. I invented a new struct
called "StyleComputer" which holds the engine_state and stack of the
initial `table` command (implicit or explicit).
* StyleComputer has a `compute()` method which takes a color_config name
and a nu value, and always returns the correct Style, so you don't have
to worry about A) the color_config value was set at all, B) whether it
was set to a closure or not, or C) which default style to use in those
cases.
* Currently, errors encountered during execution of the closures are
thrown in the garbage. Any other ideas are welcome. (Nonetheless, errors
result in a huge perf hit when they are encountered. I think what should
be done is to assume something terrible happened to the user's config
and invalidate the StyleComputer for that `table` run, thus causing
subsequent output to just be Style::default().)
* More thorough tests are forthcoming - ran into some difficulty using
`nu!` to take an alternative config, and for some reason `let-env config
=` statements don't seem to work inside `nu!` pipelines(???)
* The default config.nu has not been updated to make use of this yet. Do
tell if you think I should incorporate that into this.

`echo` tends to confuse new Nu users; they expect it to work like
`print` when it just passes a value to the next stage of the pipeline.
We haven't quite figured out what to do about `echo` in the long run,
but I think a good start is to remove `echo` from command examples where
it would be unnecessary and arguably unidiomatic.
I've been working on streaming and pipeline interruption lately. It was
bothering me that checking ctrl+c (something we want to do often) always
requires a bunch of boilerplate like:
```rust
use std::sync::atomic::Ordering;
if let Some(ctrlc) = &engine_state.ctrlc {
if ctrlc.load(Ordering::SeqCst) {
...
```
I added a helper method to cut that down to:
```rust
if nu_utils::ctrl_c::was_pressed(&engine_state.ctrlc) {
...
```

## About change
In `eval_block`, all pipelines(or called statements?) result will be
printed except the last one, the last one is returned by `eval_block`
function.
So if we want to print the last statement in eval block, we just need to
print that value.

# Description
While perusing Value.rs, I noticed the `Value::int()`, `Value::float()`,
`Value::boolean()` and `Value::string()` constructors, which seem
designed to make it easier to construct various Values, but which aren't
used often at all in the codebase. So, using a few find-replaces
regexes, I increased their usage. This reduces overall LOC because
structures like this:
```
Value::Int {
val: a,
span: head
}
```
are changed into
```
Value::int(a, head)
```
and are respected as such by the project's formatter.
There are little readability concerns because the second argument to all
of these is `span`, and it's almost always extremely obvious which is
the span at every callsite.

This is a stop-gap fix until we remove type-directed parsing. With this,

there are other cases where we still use it.

Closes#7110. ~~Note that unlike "real" `mut` vars, $env can be deeply
mutated via stuff like `$env.PYTHON_IO_ENCODING = utf8` or
`$env.config.history.max_size = 2000`. So, it's a slightly awkward
special case, arguably justifiable because of what $env represents (the
environment variables of your system, which is essentially "outside"
normal Nushell regulations).~~
EDIT: Now allows all `mut` vars to be deeply mutated using `=`, on
request.

Also, while not strictly considered an operator, i added `not` to avoid

# Description
This PR is a response to the issues raised in
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/pull/7087. It consists of two
changes:
* `export-env`, when evaluated in `overlay use`, will see the original
environment. Previously, it would see the environment from previous
overlay activation.
* Added a new `--reload` flag that reloads the overlay. Custom
definitions will be kept but the original definitions and environment
will be reloaded.
This enables a pattern when an overlay is supposed to shadow an existing
environment variable, such as `PROMPT_COMMAND`, but `overlay use` would
keep loading the value from the first activation. You can easily test it
by defining a module
```
module prompt {
export-env {
let-env PROMPT_COMMAND = (date now | into string)
}
}
```
Calling `overlay use prompt` for the first time changes the prompt to
the current time, however, subsequent calls of `overlay use` won't
change the time. That's because overlays, once activated, store their
state so they can be hidden and restored at later time. To force-reload
the environment, use the new flag: Calling `overlay use --reload prompt`
repeatedly now updates the prompt with the current time each time.
# User-Facing Changes
* When calling `overlay use`, if the module has an `export-env` block,
the block will see the environment as it is _before_ the overlay is
activated. Previously, it was _after_.
* A new `overlay use --reload` flag.

# Description
This adds `break`, `continue`, `return`, and `loop`.
* `break` - breaks out a loop
* `continue` - continues a loop at the next iteration
* `return` - early return from a function call
* `loop` - loop forever (until the loop hits a break)
Examples:
```
for i in 1..10 {
if $i == 5 {
continue
}
print $i
}
```
```
for i in 1..10 {
if $i == 5 {
break
}
print $i
}
```
```
def foo [x] {
if true {
return 2
}
$x
}
foo 100
```
```
loop { print "hello, forever" }
```
```
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5] | each {|x|
if $x > 3 { break }
$x
}
```

A small follow-up to #7221. This changes the `catch` block from a block
to a closure, so that it can access the error returned from the `try`
block. This helps with a common scenario: "the `try` block failed, and I
want to log why it failed."
### Example

### Future Work
Nu's closure syntax is a little awkward here; it might be nicer to allow
something like `catch err { print $err }`. We discussed this on Discord
and it will require special parser code similar to what's already done
for `for`.
I'm not feeling confident enough in my parser knowledge to make that
change; I will spend some more time looking at the `for` code but I
doubt I will be able to implement anything in the next few days.
Volunteers welcome.
# Description
This adds `try` (with an optional `catch` piece). Much like other
languages, `try` will try to run a block. If the block fails to run
successfully, the optional `catch` block will run if it is available.
# User-Facing Changes
This adds the `try` command.

# Description
This is a set of fixes to `err>` to make it work a bit more predictably.
I've also revised the tests, which accidentally tested the wrong thing
for redirection, but should be more correct now.

# Description
As title, when execute external sub command, auto-trimming end
new-lines, like how fish shell does.
And if the command is executed directly like: `cat tmp`, the result
won't change.
Fixes: #6816Fixes: #3980
Note that although nushell works correctly by directly replace output of
external command to variable(or other places like string interpolation),
it's not friendly to user, and users almost want to use `str trim` to
trim trailing newline, I think that's why fish shell do this
automatically.
If the pr is ok, as a result, no more `str trim -r` is required when
user is writing scripts which using external commands.

Following up on #7180 with some feature cleanup:
- Move the `database` feature from `plugin` to `default`
- Rename the `database` feature to `sqlite`
- Remove `--features=extra` from a lot of scripts etc.
- No need to specify this, the `extra` feature is now the same as the
default feature set
- Remove the now-redundant 2nd Ubuntu test run
* add signature information when help on one command
* tell user that one command support operated on cell paths
Also, make type output to be more friendly, like `record<>` should just be `record`
And the same to `table<>`, which should be `table`
* simplify code
* don't show signatures for parser keyword
* update comment
* output arg syntax shape as type, so it's the same as describe command
* fix string when no positional args
* update signature body
* update
* add help signature test
* fix arg output format for composed data type like list or record
* fix clippy
* add comment
This adds support for (limited) mutable variables. Mutable variables are created with mut much the same way immutable variables are made with let.
Mutable variables allow mutation via the assignment operator (=).
❯ mut x = 100
❯ $x = 200
❯ print $x
200
Mutable variables are limited in that they're only tended to be used in the local code block. Trying to capture a local variable will result in an error:
❯ mut x = 123; {|| $x }
Error: nu::parser::expected_keyword (link)
× Capture of mutable variable.
The intent of this limitation is to reduce some of the issues with mutable variables in general: namely they make code that's harder to reason about. By reducing the scope that a mutable variable can be used it, we can help create local reasoning about them.
Mutation can occur with fields as well, as in this case:
❯ mut y = {abc: 123}
❯ $y.abc = 456
❯ $y
On a historical note: mutable variables are something that we resisted for quite a long time, leaning as much as we could on the functional style of pipelines and dataflow. That said, we've watched folks struggle to work with reduce as an approximation for patterns that would be trivial to express with local mutation. With that in mind, we're leaning towards the happy path.
