Rewrite run_external.rs (#12921)
This PR is a complete rewrite of `run_external.rs`. The main goal of the
rewrite is improving readability, but it also fixes some bugs related to
argument handling and the PATH variable (fixes
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/6011).

I'll discuss some technical details to make reviewing easier.

## Argument handling

Quoting arguments for external commands is hard. Like, *really* hard.
We've had more than a dozen issues and PRs dedicated to quoting
arguments (see Appendix) but the current implementation is still buggy.

Here's a demonstration of the buggy behavior:

```nu
let foo = "'bar'"
^touch $foo            # This creates a file named `bar`, but it should be `'bar'`
^touch ...[ "'bar'" ]  # Same
```

I'll describe how this PR deals with argument handling.

First, we'll introduce the concept of **bare strings**. Bare strings are
**string literals** that are either **unquoted** or **quoted by
backticks** [^1]. Strings within a list literal are NOT considered bare
strings, even if they are unquoted or quoted by backticks.

When a bare string is used as an argument to external process, we need
to perform tilde-expansion, glob-expansion, and inner-quotes-removal, in
that order. "Inner-quotes-removal" means transforming from
`--option="value"` into `--option=value`.

## `.bat` files and CMD built-ins

On Windows, `.bat` files and `.cmd` files are considered executable, but
they need `CMD.exe` as the interpreter. The Rust standard library
supports running `.bat` files directly and will spawn `CMD.exe` under
the hood (see
[documentation](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/process/index.html#windows-argument-splitting)).
However, other extensions are not supported [^2].

Nushell also supports a selected number of CMD built-ins. The problem
with CMD is that it uses a different set of quoting rules. Correctly
quoting for CMD requires using
[Command::raw_arg()](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/os/windows/process/trait.CommandExt.html#tymethod.raw_arg)
and manually quoting CMD special characters, on top of quoting from the
Nushell side. ~~I decided that this is too complex and chose to reject
special characters in CMD built-ins instead [^3]. Hopefully this will
not affact real-world use cases.~~ I've implemented escaping that works
reasonably well.

## `which-support` feature

The `which` crate is now a hard dependency of `nu-command`, making the
`which-support` feature essentially useless. The `which` crate is
already a hard dependency of `nu-cli`, and we should consider removing
the `which-support` feature entirely.

## Appendix

Here's a list of quoting-related issues and PRs in rough chronological
order.

[^1]: The idea that backtick-quoted strings act like bare strings was
introduced by Kubouch and briefly mentioned in [the language
reference](https://www.nushell.sh/lang-guide/chapters/strings_and_text.html#backtick-quotes).

[^2]: The documentation also said "running .bat scripts in this way may
be removed in the future and so should not be relied upon", which is
another reason to move away from this. But again, quoting for CMD is
hard.

[this](https://daviddeley.com/autohotkey/parameters/parameters.htm).

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.

do command: Make closure support default parameters and type checking (#12056)
# Description
Fixes: #11287
Fixes: #11318

It's implemented by porting the similar logic in `eval_call`, I've tried
to reduce duplicate code, but it seems that it's hard without using
macros.

3ee2fc60f9/crates/nu-engine/src/eval.rs (L60-L130)

It only works for `do` command.

# User-Facing Changes
## Closure supports optional parameter
```nushell
let code = {|x?| print ($x | default "i'm the default")}
do $code
```
Previously it raises an error, after this change, it prints `i'm the
default`.

## Closure supports type checking
```nushell
let code = {|x: int| echo $x}
do $code "aa"
```
After this change, it will raise an error with a message: `can't convert
string to int`

Support redirect stderr and stdout+stderr with a pipe (#11708)
# Description
Close: #9673
Close: #8277
Close: #10944

This pr introduces the following syntax:
1. `e>|`, pipe stderr to next command. Example: `$env.FOO=bar nu
--testbin echo_env_stderr FOO e>| str length`
2. `o+e>|` and `e+o>|`, pipe both stdout and stderr to next command,
example: `$env.FOO=bar nu --testbin echo_env_mixed out-err FOO FOO e+o>|
str length`

Note: it only works for external commands. ~There is no different for
internal commands, that is, the following three commands do the same
things:~ Edit: it raises errors if we want to pipes for internal
commands
``` 
❯ ls e>| str length
Error:   × `e>|` only works with external streams
   ╭─[entry #1:1:1]
 1 │ ls e>| str length
   ·    ─┬─
   ·     ╰── `e>|` only works on external streams
   ╰────

❯ ls e+o>| str length
Error:   × `o+e>|` only works with external streams
   ╭─[entry #2:1:1]
 1 │ ls e+o>| str length
   ·    ──┬──
   ·      ╰── `o+e>|` only works on external streams
   ╰────
```

This can help us to avoid some strange issues like the following:

`$env.FOO=bar (nu --testbin echo_env_stderr FOO) e>| str length`

Which is hard to understand and hard to explain to users.

Update internal use of decimal to float (#10333)
# Description
We made the decision that our floating point type should be referred to
as `float` over `decimal`.
Commands were updated by #9979 and #10320

Now make the internal codebase consistent in referring to this data type
as `float`.

Work for #10332

# User-Facing Changes

`decimal` has been removed as a type name/symbol. 

Instead of 
```nushell
def foo [bar: decimal] decimal -> decimal {}
```
use 
```nushell
def foo [bar: float] float -> float {}
```

Potential effect of `SyntaxShape`'s `Display` implementation now also
referring to `float` instead of `decimal`

# Details
- Rename `SyntaxShape::Decimal` to `Float`
- Update `Display for SyntaxShape` to `float`
- Update error message + fn name in dataframe code
- Fix docs in command examples
- Rename tests that are float specific
- Update doccomment on `SyntaxShape`
- Update comment in script

allow print to take data as input again (#9823)
related to
https://discord.com/channels/601130461678272522/601130461678272524/1134079115134251129

# Description
before 0.83.0, `print` used to allow piping data into it, e.g.
```nushell
"foo" | print
```
instead of 
```nushell
print "foo"
```

this PR enables the `any -> nothing` input / output type to allow this
again.

i've double checked and `print` is essentially the following snippet
```rust
        if !args.is_empty() {
            for arg in args {
                arg.into_pipeline_data()
                    .print(engine_state, stack, no_newline, to_stderr)?;
            }
        } else if !input.is_nothing() {
            input.print(engine_state, stack, no_newline, to_stderr)?;
        }
```
1. the first part is for `print a b c`
2. the second part is for `"foo" | print`

# User-Facing Changes
```nushell
"foo" | print
```
works again

remove let-env, focus on mutating $env (#9574)
# Description

For years, Nushell has used `let-env` to set a single environment
variable. As our work on scoping continued, we refined what it meant for
a variable to be in scope using `let` but never updated how `let-env`
would work. Instead, `let-env` confusingly created mutations to the
command's copy of `$env`.

So, to help fix the mental model and point people to the right way of
thinking about what changing the environment means, this PR removes
`let-env` to encourage people to think of it as updating the command's
environment variable via mutation.

Before:

```
let-env FOO = "BAR"
```

Now:

```
$env.FOO = "BAR"
```

It's also a good reminder that the environment owned by the command is
in the `$env` variable rather than global like it is in other shells.

# User-Facing Changes

BREAKING CHANGE BREAKING CHANGE

This completely removes `let-env FOO = "BAR"` so that we can focus on
`$env.FOO = "BAR"`.

Use pretty_assertions in the root crate (#8818)
# Description

This PR is just a minor development improvement. While working on
another feature, I noticed that the root crate lists the super useful
`pretty_assertions` in the root crate but doesn't use it in most tests.
With this change `pretty_assertions::assert_eq!` is used instead of
`core::assert_eq!` for better diffs when debugging the tests.

I thought of adding the dependency to other crates but I decided not to
since I didn't want a huge disruptive PR :)

Restrict closure expression to be something like {|| ...} (#8290)
# Description

As title, closes: #7921 closes: #8273

# User-Facing Changes

when define a closure without pipe, nushell will raise error for now:
```
❯ let x = {ss ss}
Error: nu::parser::closure_missing_pipe

  × Missing || inside closure
   ╭─[entry #2:1:1]
 1 │ let x = {ss ss}
   ·         ───┬───
   ·            ╰── Parsing as a closure, but || is missing
   ╰────
  help: Try add || to the beginning of closure
```

`any`, `each`, `all`, `where` command accepts closure, it forces user
input closure like `{||`, or parse error will returned.
```
❯ {major:2, minor:1, patch:4} | values | each { into string }
Error: nu::parser::closure_missing_pipe

  × Missing || inside closure
   ╭─[entry #4:1:1]

   ╰────
  help: Try add || to the beginning of closure
```

`with-env`, `do`, `def`, `try` are special, they still remain the same,
although it says that it accepts a closure, but they don't need to be
written like `{||`, it's more likely a block but can capture variable
outside of scope:
```
❯ def test [input] { echo [0 1 2] | do { do { echo $input } } }; test aaa
aaa
```

Just realize that It's a big breaking change, we need to update config
and scripts...

Disable pipeline echo (#8292)
# Description

Change behavior of block evaluation to not print result of intermediate
commands.
Previously result of every but last pipeline in a block was printed to
stdout, and last one was returned

![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/17511668/222550110-3f62fbed-432c-4b46-b9b1-4cb45a1f893e.png)
With this change results of intermediate pipelines are discarded after
they finish and the last one is returned as before:

![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/17511668/222550346-f1e74f80-f6b6-4aa3-98d6-888ea4cb4915.png)
Now one should use `print` explicitly to print something to stdout

![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/17511668/222923955-fda0d77b-41b4-4f91-a80f-12b0a1880c05.png)

**Note, that this behavior is not limited to functions!** The scope of
this change are all blocks. All of the below are executed as blocks and
thus exibited this behavior in the same way:

With this change outputs for all types of blocks are cleaned:

updates a test to use testbin versus external echo (#8387)
# Description

In the past, I've seen this test
`takes_rows_of_nu_value_strings_and_pipes_it_to_stdin_of_external` fail
more than a few times. My only guess was that running external commands
in a cross-platform way can be tricky. This is the main reason we have
some `--testbin` commands, to avoid this situation. With that in mind,
this removes the `^echo` command from this one test and replaces it with
`nu --testbin cococo`, which I believe is our equivalent of echo.

Please comment below if you think this is the wrong strategy. There are
other `^echo` tests but I'm not sure if we can change all of them.

Bare word improvements (#8066)
# Description

This does two fixes for bare words:

* It changes completions for paths to wrap a path with backticks if it
starts with a number. This helps bare words that start with numbers be
separate from unit values
* It allows bare words wrapped with backticks to be the name of a
command. Backtick values in command positions are no longer treated as
strings

Re-enable some good tests, remove some bad tests (#7875)
I tackled some of the disabled `FIXME`/`#[ignore]` tests. Most were
straightforward to re-enable, and a few of them did not deserve to be
re-enabled.

Change other instances of $nothing to null (#7569)
# Description

Purely for consistency, various remaining instances of `$nothing`
(almost all of which were in test code) have been changed to `null`.
Now, the only place that refers to `$nothing` is the parser code which
implements it.

# User-Facing Changes

The default config.nu now uses `null` in certain places where it used
`$nothing`.

Make env-related tests more resilient (#7423)
# Description

Fixes https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/6708

The error message of environment variable not found could change
depending on the `$env` content which can produce random failures on
different systems. This PR hopefully makes the tests more resilient.

Rename all?, any? and empty? (#6464)
Rename `all?`, `any?` and `empty?` to `all`, `any` and `is-empty` for sake of simplicity and consistency.

- More understandable for newcomers, that these commands are no special to others.
- `?` syntax did not really aprove readability. For me it made it worse.
- We can reserve `?` syntax for any other nushell feature.

Create errors from tables. (#3986)

  ["The message", "Helpful message here", ([[start, end]; [0, 141]])]
] | error make

error: The message
  ┌─ shell:1:1
  │
1 │ ╭ [
2 │ │   [          msg,                 labels,                      span];
3 │ │   ["The message", "Helpful message here", ([[start, end]; [0, 141]])]
  │ ╰─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────^ Helpful message here
```

Adding a more flexible approach for creating error values. One use case, for instance is the
idea of a test framework. A failed assertion instead of printing to the screen it could create
tables with more details of the failed assertion and pass it to this command for making a full
fledge error that Nu can show. This can (and should) be extended for capturing error values as well
in the pipeline. One could also use it for inspection.

For example: `.... | error inspect { # inspection here }`

or "error handling" as well, like so: `.... | error capture { fix here }`

However, we start here only with `error make` that creates an error value for you with limited support for the time being.

Allow environment variables to be hidden (#3950)
* Allow environment variables to be hidden

This change allows environment variables in Nushell to have a value of
`Nothing`, which can be set by the user by passing `$nothing` to
`let-env` and friends.

Environment variables with a value of Nothing behave as if they are not
set at all. This allows a user to shadow the value of an environment
variable in a parent scope, effectively removing it from their current
scope. This was not possible before, because a scope can not affect its
parent scopes.

This is a workaround for issues like #3920.

Additionally, this allows a user to simultaneously set, change and
remove multiple environment variables via `load-env`. Any environment
variables set to $nothing will be hidden and thus act as if they are
removed. This simplifies working with virtual environments, which rely
on setting multiple environment variables, including PATH, to specific
values, and remove/change them on deactivation.

One surprising behavior is that an environment variable set to $nothing
will act as if it is not set when querying it (via $nu.env.X), but it is
still possible to remove it entirely via `unlet-env`. If the same
environment variable is present in the parent scope, the value in the
parent scope will be visible to the user. This might be surprising
behavior to users who are not familiar with the implementation details.

An additional corner case is the the shorthand form of `with-env` does
not work with this feature. Using `X=$nothing` will set $nu.env.X to the
string "$nothing". The long-form works as expected: `with-env [X
$nothing] {...}`.
