Change PluginCommand API to be more like Command (#12279)
# Description

This is something that was discussed in the core team meeting last
Wednesday. @ayax79 is building `nu-plugin-polars` with all of the
dataframe commands into a plugin, and there are a lot of them, so it
would help to make the API more similar. At the same time, I think the
`Command` API is just better anyway. I don't think the difference is
justified, and the types for core commands have the benefit of requiring
less `.into()` because they often don't own their data

- Broke `signature()` up into `name()`, `usage()`, `extra_usage()`,
`search_terms()`, `examples()`
- `signature()` returns `nu_protocol::Signature`
- `examples()` returns `Vec<nu_protocol::Example>`
- `PluginSignature` and `PluginExample` no longer need to be used by
plugin developers

Add command_prelude module (#12291)
# Description
When implementing a `Command`, one must also import all the types
present in the function signatures for `Command`. This makes it so that
we often import the same set of types in each command implementation
file. E.g., something like this:
```rust
use nu_protocol::ast::Call;
use nu_protocol::engine::{Command, EngineState, Stack};
use nu_protocol::{
    record, Category, Example, IntoInterruptiblePipelineData, IntoPipelineData, PipelineData,
    ShellError, Signature, Span, Type, Value,
};
```

This PR adds the `nu_engine::command_prelude` module which contains the
necessary and commonly used types to implement a `Command`:
```rust
// command_prelude.rs
pub use crate::CallExt;
pub use nu_protocol::{
    ast::{Call, CellPath},
    engine::{Command, EngineState, Stack},
    record, Category, Example, IntoInterruptiblePipelineData, IntoPipelineData, IntoSpanned,
    PipelineData, Record, ShellError, Signature, Span, Spanned, SyntaxShape, Type, Value,
};
```

This should reduce the boilerplate needed to implement a command and
also gives us a place to track the breadth of the `Command` API. I tried
to be conservative with what went into the prelude modules, since it
might be hard/annoying to remove items from the prelude in the future.
Let me know if something should be included or excluded.

Support for getting help text from a plugin command (#12243)
# Description
There wasn't really a good way to implement a command group style (e.g.
`from`, `query`, etc.) command in the past that just returns the help
text even if `--help` is not passed. This adds a new engine call that
just does that.

This is actually something I ran into before when developing the dbus
plugin, so it's nice to fix it.

Better generic errors for plugins (and perhaps scripts) (#12236)
# Description
This makes `LabeledError` much more capable of representing close to
everything a `miette::Diagnostic` can, including `ShellError`, and
allows plugins to generate multiple error spans, codes, help, etc.

`LabeledError` is now embeddable within `ShellError` as a transparent
variant.

This could also be used to improve `error make` and `try/catch` to
reflect `LabeledError` exactly in the future.

Also cleaned up some errors in existing plugins.

# User-Facing Changes
Breaking change for plugins. Nicer errors for users.

Reorganize plugin API around commands (#12170)
[Context on
Discord](https://discord.com/channels/601130461678272522/855947301380947968/1216517833312309419)

# Description
This is a significant breaking change to the plugin API, but one I think
is worthwhile. @ayax79 mentioned on Discord that while trying to start
on a dataframes plugin, he was a little disappointed that more wasn't
provided in terms of code organization for commands, particularly since
there are *a lot* of `dfr` commands.

This change treats plugins more like miniatures of the engine, with
dispatch of the command name being handled inherently, each command
being its own type, and each having their own signature within the trait
impl for the command type rather than having to find a way to centralize
it all into one `Vec`.

For the example plugins that have multiple commands, I definitely like
how this looks a lot better. This encourages doing code organization the
right way and feels very good.

For the plugins that have only one command, it's just a little bit more
boilerplate - but still worth it, in my opinion.

The `Box<dyn PluginCommand<Plugin = Self>>` type in `commands()` is a
little bit hairy, particularly for Rust beginners, but ultimately not so
bad, and it gives the desired flexibility for shared state for a whole
plugin + the individual commands.

# User-Facing Changes
Pretty big breaking change to plugin API, but probably one that's worth
making.

```rust
use nu_plugin::*;
use nu_protocol::{PluginSignature, PipelineData, Type, Value};

struct LowercasePlugin;
struct Lowercase;

// Plugins can now have multiple commands
impl PluginCommand for Lowercase {
    type Plugin = LowercasePlugin;

    // The signature lives with the command
    fn signature(&self) -> PluginSignature {
        PluginSignature::build("lowercase")
            .usage("Convert each string in a stream to lowercase")
            .input_output_type(Type::List(Type::String.into()), Type::List(Type::String.into()))
    }

    // We also provide SimplePluginCommand which operates on Value like before
    fn run(
        &self,
        plugin: &LowercasePlugin,
        engine: &EngineInterface,
        call: &EvaluatedCall,
        input: PipelineData,
    ) -> Result<PipelineData, LabeledError> {
        let span = call.head;
        Ok(input.map(move |value| {
            value.as_str()
                .map(|string| Value::string(string.to_lowercase(), span))
                // Errors in a stream should be returned as values.
                .unwrap_or_else(|err| Value::error(err, span))
        }, None)?)
    }
}

// Plugin now just has a list of commands, and the custom value op stuff still goes here
impl Plugin for LowercasePlugin {
    fn commands(&self) -> Vec<Box<dyn PluginCommand<Plugin=Self>>> {
        vec![Box::new(Lowercase)]
    }
}

fn main() {
    serve_plugin(&LowercasePlugin{}, MsgPackSerializer)
}
```

Time this however you like - we're already breaking stuff for 0.92, so
it might be good to do it now, but if it feels like a lot all at once,
it could wait.

Add themes to help command when available #10318 (#10623)
# Description
The issue #10318 is resolved by introducing helper methods within the
existing `get_documentation` function in the nu-engine crate. Initially,
I considered using nu-color-config crate to convert HEX config color to
ANSI color and employing the following method
[https://github.com/nushell/nushell/blob/main/crates/nu-color-config/src/color_config.rs#L9C1-L20C2](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/blob/main/crates/nu-color-config/src/color_config.rs#L9C1-L20C2).
However, this approach was deemed impractical due to circular
dependencies. Consequently, in a manner akin to how we invoke the
`table` command from the nu-command crate in `get_documentation`
function to create a themed-colored table, we invoke the `ansi` command
from nu-command to obtain the ANSI theme color code.

# User-Facing Changes
Visual Changes Only: the help command now uses configured theme, else it
falls back on default hard coded values.

Show parameter defaults in scope command signature, where they're
available for display by help.
per https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8928.

I found unexpected ramifications in one completer (NuHelpCompleter) and
plugins, which both use the flag-formatting routine from builtin help.
For the moment I made the minimum necessary changes to get the mainline
scenario to pass tests and run. But we should circle back on what to do
with plugins and help completer..

# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
1. New `parameter_default` column to `signatures` table in
`$nu.scope.commands`
It is populated with whatever parameters can be defaulted: currently
positional args and named flags.
2. Built in help (both `help <command>` and `<command> --help` will
display the defaults
3. Help completer will display defaults for flags, but not for
positionals.

Example:
A custom command with some default parameters:
```
〉cat ~/work/dflts.nu 
# sample function to show defaults in help
export def main [
    arg1: string        # mandatory positional
    arg2:string=abc     # optional positional
    --switch            # no default here
    --named:int         # named flag, no default
    --other:string=def  # flag 
    --hard:record<foo:int bar:string, bas:bool> # default can be compound type
            = {foo:22, bar:"other worlds", bas:false}
] { {arg1: $arg1,
    arg2: $arg2,
    switch: $switch,
    named: $named,
    other: $other,
    hard: $hard, }
}

Make plugin commands support examples. (#7984)
# Description

As title, we can't provide examples for plugin commands, this pr would
make it possible


# User-Facing Changes

Take plugin `nu-example-1` as example:
```
❯ nu-example-1 -h
PluginSignature test 1 for plugin. Returns Value::Nothing

Usage:
  > nu-example-1 {flags} <a> <b> (opt) ...(rest)

Flags:
  -h, --help - Display the help message for this command
  -f, --flag - a flag for the signature
  -n, --named <String> - named string

Parameters:
  a <int>: required integer value
  b <string>: required string value
  (optional) opt <int>: Optional number
  ...rest <string>: rest value string

Examples:
  running example with an int value and string value
  > nu-example-1 3 bb
```

The examples session is newly added.

## Basic idea behind these changes
when nushell query plugin signatures, plugin just returns it's signature
without any examples, so nushell have no idea about the examples of
plugin commands.
To adding the feature, we just making plugin returns it's signature with
examples.

Before:
```
        1. get signature
         ----------------> 
Nushell ------------------  Plugin
        <-----------------
        2. returns Vec<Signature>
```

After:
```
        1. get signature
        ----------------> 
Nushell ------------------  Plugin
        <-----------------
        2. returns Vec<PluginSignature>
```
        
When writing plugin signature to $nu.plugin-path:
Serialize `<PluginSignature>` rather than `<Signature>`, which would
enable us to serialize examples to `$nu.plugin-path`

## Shortcoming
It's a breaking changes because `Plugin::signature` is changed, and it
requires plugin authors to change their code for new signatures.

Fortunally it should be easy to change, for rust based plugin, we just
need to make a global replace from word `Signature` to word
`PluginSignature` in their plugin project.

Our content of plugin-path is really large, if one plugin have many
examples, it'd results to larger body of $nu.plugin-path, which is not
really scale. A solution would be save register information in other
binary formats rather than `json`. But I think it'd be another story.

Address lints from clippy for beta/nightly (#5709)
* Fix clippy lints in tests

* Replace `format!` in `.push_str()` with `write!`

Stylistically that might be a bit rough but elides an allocation.

Fallibility of allocation is more explicit, but ignored with `let _ =`
like in the clippy example:

https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#format_push_string

* Remove unused lifetime

* Fix macro crate relative import

* Derive `Eq` for `PartialEq` with `Eq` members

https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#derive_partial_eq_without_eq

* Remove unnnecessary `.to_string()` for Cow<str>

* Remove `.to_string()` for `tendril::Tendril`

Implements `Deref<Target = str>`
