Turn compile errors into fatal errors (#14388)
# Description

Because the IR compiler was previously optional, compile errors were not
treated as fatal errors, and were just logged like parse warnings are.
This unfortunately meant that if a user encountered a compile error,
they would see "Can't evaluate block in IR mode" as the actual error in
addition to (hopefully) logging the compile error.

This changes compile errors to be treated like parse errors so that they
show up as the last error, helping users understand what's wrong a
little bit more easily.

Fixes #14333.

# User-Facing Changes
- Shouldn't see "Can't evaluate block in IR mode"
- Should only see compile error
- No evaluation should happen

# Tests + Formatting
Didn't add any tests specifically for this, but it might be good to have
at least one that checks to ensure the compile error shows up and the
"can't evaluate" error does not.

Rely on display_output hook for formatting values from evaluations (#14361)
# Description

I was reading through the documentation yesterday, when I stumbled upon
[this
section](https://www.nushell.sh/book/pipelines.html#behind-the-scenes)
explaining how command output is formatted using the `table` command. I
was surprised that this section didn't mention the `display_output`
hook, so I took a look in the code and was shocked to discovered that
the documentation was correct, and the `table` command _is_
automatically applied to printed pipelines.

This auto-tabling has two ramifications for the `display_output` hook:

1. The `table` command is called on the output of a pipeline after the
`display_output` has run, even if `display_output` contains the table
command. This means each pipeline output is roughly equivalent to the
following (using `ls` as an example):
    ```nushell
    ls | do $config.hooks.display_output | table
    ```
2. If `display_output` returns structured data, it will _still_ be
formatted through the table command.

This PR removes the auto-table when the `display_output` hook is set.
The auto-table made sense before `display_output` was introduced, but to
me, it now seems like unnecessary "automagic" which can be accomplished
using existing Nushell features.

This means that you can now pull back the curtain a bit, and replace
your `display_output` hook with an empty closure
(`$env.config.hooks.display_output = {||}`, setting it to null retains
the previous behavior) to see the values printed normally without the
table formatting. I think this is a good thing, and makes it easier to
understand Nushell fundamentals.

It is important to note that this PR does not change how `print` and
other commands (well, specifically only `watch`) print out values. They
continue to use `table` with no arguments, so changing your
config/`display_output` hook won't affect what `print`ing a value does.

# User-Facing Changes

Pipelines are no longer automatically formatted using the `table`
command. Instead, the `display_output` hook is used to format pipeline
output. Most users should see no impact, as the default `display_output`
hook already uses the `table` command.

# Tests + Formatting

- 🟢 `toolkit fmt`
- 🟢 `toolkit clippy`
- 🟢 `toolkit test`
- 🟢 `toolkit test stdlib`

# After Submitting


Will update mentioned docs page to call out `display_output` hook.

Error on non-zero exit statuses (#13515)
# Description
This PR makes it so that non-zero exit codes and termination by signal
are treated as a normal `ShellError`. Currently, these are silent
errors. That is, if an external command fails, then it's code block is
aborted, but the parent block can sometimes continue execution. E.g.,
see #8569 and this example:
```nushell
[1 2] | each { ^false }
```

Before this would give:
```
╭───┬──╮
│ 0 │  │
│ 1 │  │
╰───┴──╯
```

Now, this shows an error:
```
Error: nu:🐚:eval_block_with_input

  × Eval block failed with pipeline input
   ╭─[entry #1:1:2]
 1 │ [1 2] | each { ^false }
   ·  ┬
   ·  ╰── source value
   ╰────

Error: nu:🐚:non_zero_exit_code

  × External command had a non-zero exit code
   ╭─[entry #1:1:17]
 1 │ [1 2] | each { ^false }
   ·                 ──┬──
   ·                   ╰── exited with code 1
   ╰────
```

This PR fixes #12874, fixes #5960, fixes #10856, and fixes #5347. This
PR also partially addresses #10633 and #10624 (only the last command of
a pipeline is currently checked). It looks like #8569 is already fixed,
but this PR will make sure it is definitely fixed (fixes #8569).

# User-Facing Changes
- Non-zero exit codes and termination by signal now cause an error to be
thrown.
- The error record value passed to a `catch` block may now have an
`exit_code` column containing the integer exit code if the error was due
to an external command.
- Adds new config values, `display_errors.exit_code` and
`display_errors.termination_signal`, which determine whether an error
message should be printed in the respective error cases. For
non-interactive sessions, these are set to `true`, and for interactive
sessions `display_errors.exit_code` is false (via the default config).

# Tests
Added a few tests.

# After Submitting
- Update docs and book.
- Future work:
- Error if other external commands besides the last in a pipeline exit
with a non-zero exit code. Then, deprecate `do -c` since this will be
the default behavior everywhere.
- Add a better mechanism for exit codes and deprecate
`$env.LAST_EXIT_CODE` (it's buggy).

Update config directly at assignment (#13332)
# Description

Allows `Stack` to have a modified local `Config`, which is updated
immediately when `$env.config` is assigned to. This means that even
within a script, commands that come after `$env.config` changes will
always see those changes in `Stack::get_config()`.

Also fixed a lot of cases where `engine_state.get_config()` was used
even when `Stack` was available.

Closes #13324.

# User-Facing Changes
- Config changes apply immediately after the assignment is executed,
rather than whenever config is read by a command that needs it.
- Potentially slower performance when executing a lot of lines that
change `$env.config` one after another. Recommended to get `$env.config`
into a `mut` variable first and do modifications, then assign it back.
- Much faster performance when executing a script that made
modifications to `$env.config`, as the changes are only parsed once.

# Tests + Formatting
All passing.

Internal representation (IR) compiler and evaluator (#13330)
# Description

This PR adds an internal representation language to Nushell, offering an
alternative evaluator based on simple instructions, stream-containing
registers, and indexed control flow. The number of registers required is
determined statically at compile-time, and the fixed size required is
allocated upon entering the block.

Each instruction is associated with a span, which makes going backwards
from IR instructions to source code very easy.

Motivations for IR:

1. **Performance.** By simplifying the evaluation path and making it
more cache-friendly and branch predictor-friendly, code that does a lot
of computation in Nushell itself can be sped up a decent bit. Because
the IR is fairly easy to reason about, we can also implement
optimization passes in the future to eliminate and simplify code.
2. **Correctness.** The instructions mostly have very simple and
easily-specified behavior, so hopefully engine changes are a little bit
easier to reason about, and they can be specified in a more formal way
at some point. I have made an effort to document each of the
instructions in the docs for the enum itself in a reasonably specific
way. Some of the errors that would have happened during evaluation
before are now moved to the compilation step instead, because they don't
make sense to check during evaluation.
3. **As an intermediate target.** This is a good step for us to bring
the [`new-nu-parser`](https://github.com/nushell/new-nu-parser) in at
some point, as code generated from new AST can be directly compared to
code generated from old AST. If the IR code is functionally equivalent,
it will behave the exact same way.
4. **Debugging.** With a little bit more work, we can probably give
control over advancing the virtual machine that `IrBlock`s run on to
some sort of external driver, making things like breakpoints and single
stepping possible. Tools like `view ir` and [`explore
ir`](https://github.com/devyn/nu_plugin_explore_ir) make it easier than
before to see what exactly is going on with your Nushell code.

The goal is to eventually replace the AST evaluator entirely, once we're
sure it's working just as well. You can help dogfood this by running
Nushell with `$env.NU_USE_IR` set to some value. The environment
variable is checked when Nushell starts, so config runs with IR, or it
can also be set on a line at the REPL to change it dynamically. It is
also checked when running `do` in case within a script you want to just
run a specific piece of code with or without IR.

# Example

```nushell
view ir { |data|
  mut sum = 0
  for n in $data {
    $sum += $n
  }
  $sum
}
```
  
```gas
# 3 registers, 19 instructions, 0 bytes of data
   0: load-literal           %0, int(0)
   1: store-variable         var 904, %0 # let
   2: drain                  %0
   3: drop                   %0
   4: load-variable          %1, var 903
   5: iterate                %0, %1, end 15 # for, label(1), from(14:)
   6: store-variable         var 905, %0
   7: load-variable          %0, var 904
   8: load-variable          %2, var 905
   9: binary-op              %0, Math(Plus), %2
  10: span                   %0
  11: store-variable         var 904, %0
  12: load-literal           %0, nothing
  13: drain                  %0
  14: jump                   5
  15: drop                   %0          # label(0), from(5:)
  16: drain                  %0
  17: load-variable          %0, var 904
  18: return                 %0
```

# Benchmarks

All benchmarks run on a base model Mac Mini M1.

## Iterative Fibonacci sequence

This is about as best case as possible, making use of the much faster
control flow. Most code will not experience a speed improvement nearly
this large.

```nushell
def fib [n: int] {
  mut a = 0
  mut b = 1
  for _ in 2..=$n {
    let c = $a + $b
    $a = $b
    $b = $c
  }
  $b
}
use std bench
bench { 0..50 | each { |n| fib $n } }
```

[random-bytes.nu](https://github.com/nushell/nu_scripts/blob/main/benchmarks/random-bytes.nu)

I got pretty random results out of this benchmark so I decided not to
include it. Not clear why.

# User-Facing Changes
- IR compilation errors may appear even if the user isn't evaluating
with IR.
- IR evaluation can be enabled by setting the `NU_USE_IR` environment
variable to any value.
- New command `view ir` pretty-prints the IR for a block, and `view ir
--json` can be piped into an external tool like [`explore
ir`](https://github.com/devyn/nu_plugin_explore_ir).

# Tests + Formatting
All tests are passing with `NU_USE_IR=1`, and I've added some more eval
tests to compare the results for some very core operations. I will
probably want to add some more so we don't have to always check
`NU_USE_IR=1 toolkit test --workspace` on a regular basis.

# After Submitting
- [ ] release notes
- [ ] further documentation of instructions?
- [ ] post-release: publish `nu_plugin_explore_ir`

Change the error style during tests to plain (#13061)
# Description

This fixes issues with trying to run the tests with a terminal that is
small enough to cause errors to wrap around, or in cases where the test
environment might produce strings that are reasonably expected to wrap
around anyway. "Fancy" errors are too fancy for tests to work
predictably 😉

cc @abusch

# User-Facing Changes

- Added `--error-style` option for use with `--commands` (like
`--table-mode`)

# Tests + Formatting

Surprisingly, all of the tests pass, including in small windows! I only
had to make one change to a test for `error make` which was looking for
the box drawing characters miette uses to determine whether the span
label was showing up - but the plain error style output is even better
and easier to match on, so this test is actually more specific now.

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.

Add --no-newline option to nu (#12410)
# Description
I have `nu` set as my shell in my editor, which allows me to easily pipe
selections of text to things like `str pascal-case` or even more complex
string operation pipelines, which I find super handy. However, the only
annoying thing is that I pretty much always have to add `| print -n` at
the end, because `nu` adds a newline when it prints the resulting value.

This adds a `--no-newline` option to stop that from happening, and then
you don't need to pipe to `print -n` anymore, you can just have your
shell command for your editor contain that flag.

# User-Facing Changes

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.

IO and redirection overhaul (#11934)
# Description
The PR overhauls how IO redirection is handled, allowing more explicit
and fine-grain control over `stdout` and `stderr` output as well as more
efficient IO and piping.

To summarize the changes in this PR:
- Added a new `IoStream` type to indicate the intended destination for a
pipeline element's `stdout` and `stderr`.
- The `stdout` and `stderr` `IoStream`s are stored in the `Stack` and to
avoid adding 6 additional arguments to every eval function and
`Command::run`. The `stdout` and `stderr` streams can be temporarily
overwritten through functions on `Stack` and these functions will return
a guard that restores the original `stdout` and `stderr` when dropped.
- In the AST, redirections are now directly part of a `PipelineElement`
as a `Option<Redirection>` field instead of having multiple different
`PipelineElement` enum variants for each kind of redirection. This
required changes to the parser, mainly in `lite_parser.rs`.
- `Command`s can also set a `IoStream` override/redirection which will
apply to the previous command in the pipeline. This is used, for
example, in `ignore` to allow the previous external command to have its
stdout redirected to `Stdio::null()` at spawn time. In contrast, the
current implementation has to create an os pipe and manually consume the
output on nushell's side. File and pipe redirections (`o>`, `e>`, `e>|`,
etc.) have precedence over overrides from commands.

This PR improves piping and IO speed, partially addressing #10763. Using
the `throughput` command from that issue, this PR gives the following
speedup on my setup for the commands below:
| Command | Before (MB/s) | After (MB/s) | Bash (MB/s) |
| --------------------------- | -------------:| ------------:|
-----------:|
| `throughput o> /dev/null` | 1169 | 52938 | 54305 |
| `throughput \| ignore` | 840 | 55438 | N/A |
| `throughput \| null` | Error | 53617 | N/A |
| `throughput \| rg 'x'` | 1165 | 3049 | 3736 |
| `(throughput) \| rg 'x'` | 810 | 3085 | 3815 |

(Numbers above are the median samples for throughput)

This PR also paves the way to refactor our `ExternalStream` handling in
the various commands. For example, this PR already fixes the following
code:
```nushell
^sh -c 'echo -n "hello "; sleep 0; echo "world"' | find "hello world"
```
This returns an empty list on 0.90.1 and returns a highlighted "hello
world" on this PR.

Since the `stdout` and `stderr` `IoStream`s are available to commands
when they are run, then this unlocks the potential for more convenient
behavior. E.g., the `find` command can disable its ansi highlighting if
it detects that the output `IoStream` is not the terminal. Knowing the
output streams will also allow background job output to be redirected
more easily and efficiently.

# User-Facing Changes
- External commands returned from closures will be collected (in most
cases):
  ```nushell
  1..2 | each {|_| nu -c "print a" }
  ```
This gives `["a", "a"]` on this PR, whereas this used to print "a\na\n"
and then return an empty list.

  ```nushell
  1..2 | each {|_| nu -c "print -e a" }
  ```
This gives `["", ""]` and prints "a\na\n" to stderr, whereas this used
to return an empty list and print "a\na\n" to stderr.

- Trailing new lines are always trimmed for external commands when
piping into internal commands or collecting it as a value. (Failure to
decode the output as utf-8 will keep the trailing newline for the last
binary value.) In the current nushell version, the following three code
snippets differ only in parenthesis placement, but they all also have
different outputs:

  1. `1..2 | each { ^echo a }`
     ```
     a
     a
     ╭────────────╮
     │ empty list │
     ╰────────────╯
     ```
  2. `1..2 | each { (^echo a) }`
     ```
     ╭───┬───╮
     │ 0 │ a │
     │ 1 │ a │
     ╰───┴───╯
     ```
  3. `1..2 | (each { ^echo a })`
     ```
     ╭───┬───╮
     │ 0 │ a │
     │   │   │
     │ 1 │ a │
     │   │   │

  But in this PR, the above snippets will all have the same output:
  ```
  ╭───┬───╮
  │ 0 │ a │
  │ 1 │ a │
  ╰───┴───╯
  ```

- All existing flags on `run-external` are now deprecated.

- File redirections now apply to all commands inside a code block:
  ```nushell
  (nu -c "print -e a"; nu -c "print -e b") e> test.out
  ```
This gives "a\nb\n" in `test.out` and prints nothing. The same result
would happen when printing to stdout and using a `o>` file redirection.

- External command output will (almost) never be ignored, and ignoring
output must be explicit now:
  ```nushell
  (^echo a; ^echo b)
  ```
This prints "a\nb\n", whereas this used to print only "b\n". This only
applies to external commands; values and internal commands not in return
position will not print anything (e.g., `(echo a; echo b)` still only
prints "b").

- `complete` now always captures stderr (`do` is not necessary).

This PR adds a new evaluator path with callbacks to a mutable trait
object implementing a Debugger trait. The trait object can do anything,
e.g., profiling, code coverage, step debugging. Currently,
entering/leaving a block and a pipeline element is marked with
callbacks, but more callbacks can be added as necessary. Not all
callbacks need to be used by all debuggers; unused ones are simply empty
calls. A simple profiler is implemented as a proof of concept.

The debugging support is implementing by making `eval_xxx()` functions
generic depending on whether we're debugging or not. This has zero
computational overhead, but makes the binary slightly larger (see
benchmarks below). `eval_xxx()` variants called from commands (like
`eval_block_with_early_return()` in `each`) are chosen with a dynamic
dispatch for two reasons: to not grow the binary size due to duplicating
the code of many commands, and for the fact that it isn't possible
because it would make Command trait objects object-unsafe.

In the future, I hope it will be possible to allow plugin callbacks such
that users would be able to implement their profiler plugins instead of
having to recompile Nushell.
[DAP](https://microsoft.github.io/debug-adapter-protocol/) would also be
interesting to explore.

Try `help debug profile`.

## Screenshots

Basic output:

![profiler_new](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/assets/25571562/418b9df0-b659-4dcb-b023-2d5fcef2c865)

To profile with more granularity, increase the profiler depth (you'll
see that repeated `is-windows` calls take a large chunk of total time,
making it a good candidate for optimizing):

![profiler_new_m3](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/assets/25571562/636d756d-5d56-460c-a372-14716f65f37f)

## Benchmarks

### Binary size

Binary size increase vs. main: **+40360 bytes**. _(Both built with
`--release --features=extra,dataframe`.)_

### Time

```nushell
# bench_debug.nu
use std bench

let test = {
    1..100
    | each {
        ls | each {|row| $row.name | str length }
    }
    | flatten
    | math avg
}

print 'debug:'
let res2 = bench { debug profile $test } --pretty
print $res2
```

```nushell
# bench_nodebug.nu
use std bench

let test = {
    1..100
    | each {
        ls | each {|row| $row.name | str length }
    }
    | flatten
    | math avg
}

print 'no debug:'
let res1 = bench { do $test } --pretty
print $res1
```

`cargo run --release -- bench_debug.nu` is consistently 1--2 ms slower
than `cargo run --release -- bench_nodebug.nu` due to the collection
overhead + gathering the report. This is expected. When gathering more
stuff, the overhead is obviously higher.

`cargo run --release -- bench_nodebug.nu` vs. `nu bench_nodebug.nu` I
didn't measure any difference. Both benchmarks report times between 97
and 103 ms randomly, without one being consistently higher than the
other. This suggests that at least in this particular case, when not
running any debugger, there is no runtime overhead.

## API changes

This PR adds a generic parameter to all `eval_xxx` functions that forces
you to specify whether you use the debugger. You can resolve it in two
ways:
* Use a provided helper that will figure it out for you. If you wanted
to use `eval_block(&engine_state, ...)`, call `let eval_block =
get_eval_block(&engine_state); eval_block(&engine_state, ...)`
* If you know you're in an evaluation path that doesn't need debugger
support, call `eval_block::<WithoutDebug>(&engine_state, ...)` (this is
the case of hooks, for example).

I tried to add more explanation in the docstring of `debugger_trait.rs`.

## TODO

- [x] Better profiler output to reduce spam of iterative commands like
`each`
- [x] Resolve `TODO: DEBUG` comments
- [x] Resolve unwraps
- [x] Add doc comments
- [x] Add usage and extra usage for `debug profile`, explaining all
columns

Add Value::coerce_str (#11885)
# Description
Following #11851, this PR adds one final conversion function for
`Value`. `Value::coerce_str` takes a `&Value` and converts it to a
`Cow<str>`, creating an owned `String` for types that needed converting.
Otherwise, it returns a borrowed `str` for `String` and `Binary`
`Value`s which avoids a clone/allocation. Where possible, `coerce_str`
and `coerce_into_string` should be used instead of `coerce_string`,
since `coerce_string` always allocates a new `String`.

Name the Value conversion functions more clearly (#11851)
# Description
This PR renames the conversion functions on `Value` to be more consistent.
It follows the Rust [API guidelines](https://rust-lang.github.io/api-guidelines/naming.html#ad-hoc-conversions-follow-as_-to_-into_-conventions-c-conv) for ad-hoc conversions.
The conversion functions on `Value` now come in a few forms:
- `coerce_{type}` takes a `&Value` and attempts to convert the value to
`type` (e.g., `i64` are converted to `f64`). This is the old behavior of
some of the `as_{type}` functions -- these functions have simply been
renamed to better reflect what they do.
- The new `as_{type}` functions take a `&Value` and returns an `Ok`
result only if the value is of `type` (no conversion is attempted). The
returned value will be borrowed if `type` is non-`Copy`, otherwise an
owned value is returned.
- `into_{type}` exists for non-`Copy` types, but otherwise does not
attempt conversion just like `as_type`. It takes an owned `Value` and
always returns an owned result.
- `coerce_into_{type}` has the same relationship with `coerce_{type}` as
`into_{type}` does with `as_{type}`.
- `to_{kind}_string`: conversion to different string formats (debug,
abbreviated, etc.). Only two of the old string conversion functions were
removed, the rest have been renamed only.
- `to_{type}`: other conversion functions. Currently, only `to_path`
exists. (And `to_string` through `Display`.)

This table summaries the above:
| Form | Cost | Input Ownership | Output Ownership | Converts `Value`
case/`type` |
| ---------------------------- | ----- | --------------- |
---------------- | -------- |
| `as_{type}` | Cheap | Borrowed | Borrowed/Owned | No |
| `into_{type}` | Cheap | Owned | Owned | No |
| `coerce_{type}` | Cheap | Borrowed | Borrowed/Owned | Yes |
| `coerce_into_{type}` | Cheap | Owned | Owned | Yes |
| `to_{kind}_string` | Expensive | Borrowed | Owned | Yes |
| `to_{type}` | Expensive | Borrowed | Owned | Yes |

Deprecate --flag: bool in custom command (#11365)
# Description
While #11057 is merged, it's hard to tell the difference between
`--flag: bool` and `--flag`, and it makes user hard to read custom
commands' signature, and hard to use them correctly.

After discussion, I think we can deprecate `--flag: bool` usage, and
encourage using `--flag` instead.

# User-Facing Changes
The following code will raise warning message, but don't stop from
running.
```nushell
❯ def florb [--dry-run: bool, --another-flag] { "aaa" };  florb
Error:   × Deprecated: --flag: bool
   ╭─[entry #7:1:1]
 1 │ def florb [--dry-run: bool, --another-flag] { "aaa" };  florb
   ·                       ──┬─
   ·                         ╰── `--flag: bool` is deprecated. Please use `--flag` instead, more info: https://www.nushell.sh/book/custom_commands.html
   ╰────

# Tests + Formatting
Done

# After Submitting
- [ ] Add more information under

Refactor and fix Config<->Value mechanism (#10896)
# Description
Our config exists both as a `Config` struct for internal consumption and
as a `Value`. The latter is exposed through `$env.config` and can be
both set and read.
Thus we have a complex bug-prone mechanism, that reads a `Value` and
then tries to plug anything where the value is unrepresentable in
`Config` with the correct state from `Config`.

The parsing involves therefore mutation of the `Value` in a nested
`Record` structure. Previously this was wholy done manually, with
indices.
To enable deletion for example, things had to be iterated over from the
back. Also things were indexed in a bunch of places. This was hard to
read and an invitation for bugs.

With #10876 we can now use `Record::retain_mut` to traverse the records,
modify anything that needs fixing, and drop invalid fields.

# Parts:

- Error messages now consistently use the correct spans pointing to the
problematic value and the paths displayed in some messages are also
aligned with the keys used for lookup.
- Reconstruction of values has been fixed for:
	- `table.padding`
	- `buffer_editor`
	- `hooks.command_not_found`
	- `datetime_format` (partial solution)
- Fix validation of `table.padding` input so value is not set (and
underflows `usize` causing `table` to run forever with negative values)
- New proper types for settings. Fully validated enums instead of
strings:
  - `config.edit_mode` -> `EditMode` 
  	- Don't fall back to vi-mode on invalid string
  - `config.table.mode` -> `TableMode`
- there is still a fall back to `rounded` if given an invalid
`TableMode` as argument to the `nu` binary
  - `config.completions.algorithm` -> `CompletionAlgorithm`
  - `config.error_style` -> `ErrorStyle`
    - don't implicitly fall back to `fancy` when given an invalid value.
- This should also shrink the size of `Config` as instead of 4x24 bytes
those fields now need only 4x1 bytes in `Config`
- Completely removed macros relying on the scope of `Value::into_config`
so we can break it up into smaller parts in the future.
- Factored everything into smaller files with the types and helpers for
particular topics.
- `NuCursorShape` now explicitly expresses the `Inherit` setting.
conversion to option only happens at the interface to `reedline`

Move CLI related commands to nu-cli (#8832)
# Description

Part of the larger cratification effort.

Moves all `reedline` or shell line editor specific commands to `nu-cli`.

## From `nu-cmd-lang`:
- `commandline`
- This shouldn't have moved there. Doesn't directly depend on reedline
but assumes parts in the engine state that are specific to the use of
reedline or a REPL

## From `nu-command`:
- `keybindings` and subcommands
  - `keybindings default`
  - `keybindings list`
  - `keybindings listen`
    - very `reedline` specific
- `history`
  - needs `reedline`
- `history session`

## internal use
Instead of having a separate `create_default_context()` that calls
`nu-command`'s `create_default_context()`, I added a `add_cli_context()`
that updates an `EngineState`


# User-Facing Changes

None

## Build time comparison

`cargo build --timings` from a `cargo clean --profile dev`

### total
main: 64 secs
this: 59 secs

### `nu-command` build time

branch | total| codegen | fraction  
---|---|---|---
main | 14.0s | 6.2s | (44%)
this | 12.5s | 5.5s | (44%)

`nu-cli` depends on `nu-command` at the moment.
Thus it is built during the code-gen phase of `nu-command` (on 16
virtual cores)

# Tests + Formatting

I removed the `test_example()` facilities for now as we had not run any
of the commands in an `Example` test and importing the right context for
those tests seemed more of a hassle than the duplicated
`test_examples()` implementations in `nu-cmd-lang` and `nu-command`
