Custom command attributes (#14906)
# Description
Add custom command attributes.

- Attributes are placed before a command definition and start with a `@`
character.
- Attribute invocations consist of const command call. The command's
name must start with "attr ", but this prefix is not used in the
invocation.
- A command named `attr example` is invoked as an attribute as
`@example`
-   Several built-in attribute commands are provided as part of this PR
    -   `attr example`: Attaches an example to the commands help text
        ```nushell
        # Double numbers
        @example "double an int"  { 5 | double }   --result 10
        @example "double a float" { 0.5 | double } --result 1.0
        def double []: [number -> number] {
            $in * 2
        }
        ```
    -   `attr search-terms`: Adds search terms to a command
    -   ~`attr env`: Equivalent to using `def --env`~
- ~`attr wrapped`: Equivalent to using `def --wrapped`~ shelved for
later discussion
    -   several testing related attributes in `std/testing`
- If an attribute has no internal/special purpose, it's stored as
command metadata that can be obtained with `scope commands`.
- This allows having attributes like `@test` which can be used by test
runners.
-   Used the `@example` attribute for `std` examples.
-   Updated the std tests and test runner to use `@test` attributes
-   Added completions for attributes

# User-Facing Changes
Users can add examples to their own command definitions, and add other
arbitrary attributes.

# Tests + Formatting

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

# After Submitting

Deprecate date to-record and date to-table (#14319)
# Description

Implements #11234 based on the comments there:

* (Previously implemented): `into record` handles nanoseconds (as well
as milliseconds and microseconds, which the deprecated commands didn't
support).
* Added deprecation warning to `date to-record` and `date to-table`
* Added new example for `into record` showing the conversion to a table
* Changed `std/dt` to use `into record`
* Added "Deprecated" category back to nu-protocol::Signature
* Assigned the deprecated commands to the Deprecated category so be
categorized properly in the online Doc.

# User-Facing Changes

Deprecated command warning

# Tests + Formatting

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

# After Submitting

Searched doc for existing uses of `date to-record` and `date to-table`:

* For primary English-language docs, there are no uses other than in the
auto-generated command help, which will be updated based on this PR
* Other language translations appear to have an old use in several
places and will need to be updated to match the English-language doc.

Fix panic on too few arguments for custom function (#10395)
# Description
Old code was comparing remaining positional arguments with total number
of arguments, where it should've compared remaining positional with
with remaining arguments of any kind. This means that if a function was
given too few arguments, `calculate_end_span` would believe that it
actually had too many arguments, since after parsing the first few
arguments, the number of remaining arguments needed were fewer than the
*total* number of arguments, of which we had used several.

Fixes #9072
Fixes: https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/13930
Fixes: https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/12069
Fixes: https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8385

Extracted from #10381

## Bonus

It also improves the error handling on missing positional arguments
before keywords (no longer crashing since #9851). Instead of just giving
the keyword to the parser for the missing positional, we give an
explicit error about a missing positional argument. I would like better
descriptions than "missing var_name" though, but I'm not sure if that's
available without

Old error
```
Error: nu::parser::parse_mismatch

  × Parse mismatch during operation.
   ╭─[entry #1:1:1]
 1 │ let = if foo
   ·     ┬
   ·     ╰── expected valid variable name
   ╰────
```

New error
```
Error: nu::parser::missing_positional

  × Missing required positional argument.
   ╭─[entry #18:1:1]
 1 │ let = foo
   ·    ┬
   ·    ╰── missing var_name
   ╰────
  help: Usage: let <var_name> = <initial_value>
```

Change the usage misnomer to "description" (#13598)
# Description
    
The meaning of the word usage is specific to describing how a command
function is *used* and not a synonym for general description. Usage can
be used to describe the SYNOPSIS or EXAMPLES sections of a man page
where the permitted argument combinations are shown or example *uses*
are given.
Let's not confuse people and call it what it is a description.

Our `help` command already creates its own *Usage* section based on the
available arguments and doesn't refer to the description with usage.

# User-Facing Changes

`help commands` and `scope commands` will now use `description` or
`extra_description`
`usage`-> `description`
`extra_usage` -> `extra_description`

Breaking change in the plugin protocol:

In the signature record communicated with the engine.
`usage`-> `description`
`extra_usage` -> `extra_description`

The same rename also takes place for the methods on
`SimplePluginCommand` and `PluginCommand`

Clippy fixes from stable and nightly (#13455)
- **Doccomment style fixes**
- **Forgotten stuff in `nu-pretty-hex`**
- **Don't `for` around an `Option`**
- and more

I think the suggestions here are a net positive, some of the suggestions
moved into #13498 feel somewhat arbitrary, I also raised
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/13188 as the nightly
`byte_char_slices` would require either a global allow or otherwise a
ton of granular allows or possibly confusing bytestring literals.

Avoid clone in Signature::get_positional() (#13338)
# Description
`Signature::get_positional()` was returning an owned `PositionalArg`,
which contains a bunch of strings. `ClosureEval` uses this in
`try_add_arg`, making all of that unnecessary cloning a little bit hot.

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`

Use CommandType in more places (#12832)
# Description
Kind of a vague title, but this PR does two main things:
1. Rather than overriding functions like `Command::is_parser_keyword`,
this PR instead changes commands to override `Command::command_type`.
The `CommandType` returned by `Command::command_type` is then used to
automatically determine whether `Command::is_parser_keyword` and the
other `is_{type}` functions should return true. These changes allow us
to remove the `CommandType::Other` case and should also guarantee than
only one of the `is_{type}` functions on `Command` will return true.
2. Uses the new, reworked `Command::command_type` function in the `scope
commands` and `which` commands.


# User-Facing Changes
- Breaking change for `scope commands`: multiple columns (`is_builtin`,
`is_keyword`, `is_plugin`, etc.) have been merged into the `type`
column.
- Breaking change: the `which` command can now report `plugin` or
`keyword` instead of `built-in` in the `type` column. It may also now
report `external` instead of `custom` in the `type` column for known
`extern`s.

Overhaul the plugin cache file with a new msgpack+brotli format (#12579)
# Description

- Plugin signatures are now saved to `plugin.msgpackz`, which is
brotli-compressed MessagePack.
- The file is updated incrementally, rather than writing all plugin
commands in the engine every time.
- The file always contains the result of the `Signature` call to the
plugin, even if commands were removed.
- Invalid data for a particular plugin just causes an error to be
reported, but the rest of the plugins can still be parsed

# User-Facing Changes

- The plugin file has a different filename, and it's not a nushell
script.
- The default `plugin.nu` file will be automatically migrated the first
time, but not other plugin config files.
- We don't currently provide any utilities that could help edit this
file, beyond `plugin add` and `plugin rm`
  - `from msgpackz`, `to msgpackz` could also help
- New commands: `plugin add`, `plugin rm`

# Tests + Formatting

Tests added for the format and for the invalid handling.

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

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.

Debug assertions don't run at release, which means that `cargo test
--release` fails because the tests for name checks don't run properly.
These checks are not really expensive, and there shouldn't be any
noticeable difference to startup time, so there isn't much reason not to
just leave them in.

It's valuable to be able to run `cargo test --release`, as that can
expose race conditions and dependencies on undefined behavior that
aren't exposed in debug builds.

Rename misused "deprecation" to removal (#10000)
# Description
In the past we named the process of completely removing a command and
providing a basic error message pointing to the new alternative
"deprecation".

But this doesn't match the expectation of most users that have seen
deprecation _warnings_ that alert to either impending removal or
discouraged use after a stability promise.

# User-Facing Changes
Command category changed from `deprecated` to `removed`

Rename main to script name when running scripts (#9948)
# Description

This PR does three related changes:

* Keeps the originally declared name in help outputs.
* Updates the name of the commands called `main` in the user script to
the name of the script.
* Fixes the source of signature information in multiple places. This
allows scripts to have more complete help output.

Combined, the above allow the user to see the script name in the help
output of scripts, like so:


![image](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/assets/547158/741d192c-0a39-45a7-8f36-3a0dc8eeae2b)

NOTE: You still declare and call the definition `main`, so from inside
the script `main` is still the correct name. But multiple folks agreed
that seeing `main` in the script help was confusing, so this PR changes
that.

# User-Facing Changes

One potential minor breaking change is that module renames will be shown
as their originally defined name rather than the renamed name. I believe
this to be a better default.

Move help commands to use more structure in signatures (#9949)
# Description

Signatures in `help commands` will now have more structure for params
and input/output pairs.

Example:

Improved params

Remove Signature.vectorizes_over_list entirely (#9777)
# Description
With the current typechecking logic this property has no effect.
It was only used in the example testing, and provided some indication of
this vectorizing property.
With #9742 all commands that previously declared it have explicit list
signatures. If we want to get it back in the future we can reconstruct
it from the signature.

Simplifies the example testing a bit.

# User-Facing Changes
Causes a breaking change for plugins that previously declared it. While
this causes a compile fail, this was already broken by our more
stringent type checking.
This will be a good reminder for plugin authors to update their
signature as well to reflect the more stringent type checking.

Improve type hovers (#9515)
# Description

This PR does a few things to help improve type hovers and, in the
process, fixes a few outstanding issues in the type system. Here's a
list of the changes:

* `for` now will try to infer the type of the iteration variable based
on the expression it's given. This fixes things like `for x in [1, 2, 3]
{ }` where `x` now properly gets the int type.
* Removed old input/output type fields from the signature, focuses on
the vec of signatures. Updated a bunch of dataframe commands that hadn't
moved over. This helps tie things together a bit better
* Fixed inference of types from subexpressions to use the last
expression in the block
* Fixed handling of explicit types in `let` and `mut` calls, so we now
respect that as the authoritative type

I also tried to add `def` input/output type inference, but unfortunately
we only know the predecl types universally, which means we won't have
enough information to properly know what the types of the custom
commands are.

# User-Facing Changes

Script typechecking will get tighter in some cases
Hovers should be more accurate in some cases that previously resorted to
any.

Change type of flag defaults to Option<Value> (#9085)
# Description
Follow-up of #8940. As @bobhy pointed out, it makes sense for the
behaviour of flags to match the one for positional arguments, where
default values are of type `Option<Value>` instead of
`Option<Expression>`.

# User-Facing Changes
The same ones from the original PR:
- Flag default values will now be parsed as constants.
- If the default value is not a constant, a parser error is displayed.

# Tests + Formatting

A [new
test](e34e2d35f4/src/tests/test_engine.rs (L338-L344))
has been added to verify the new restriction.

view span & view files commands (#7989)
# Description

This PR does the following:
1. Adds a new command called `view span` - which shows what is at the
location of the span parameters
2. Adds a new command called `view` - which just lists all the `view`
commands.
3. Renames `view-source` to `view source`.
4. Adds a new command called `view files` - which shows you what files
are loaded into nushell's EngineState memory.
5. Added a `Category::Debug` and put these commands (and others) into
it. (`inspect` needs to be added to it, but it's not landed yet)

Spans are important to nushell. One of their uses is to show where
errors are. For instance, in this example, the leader lines pointing to
parts of the command line are able to point to `10`, `/`, and `"bob"`
because each of those items have a span.
```
> 10 / "bob"
Error: nu::parser::unsupported_operation (link)

  × Types mismatched for operation.

# Examples

## view span
Example:
```

                        start: 68065,
                        end: 68090,
                    },
                },
            ],
            span: Span {
                start: 68050,
                end: 68101,

    ],
    span: Span {
        start: 67927,
        end: 68108,
    },
}
```

`entry #x` will be each command you type in the repl (i think). so, it
may be good to filter those out sometimes.

Allow open to work with 'from ...' block commands (#5049)
* Remove panic from BlockCommands run function

Instead of panicing, the run method now returns an error to prevent
nushell from unexpected termination.

* Add ability to open command to run with blocks

The open command tries to parse the content of the file
if there is a command called 'from (file ending)'.  This works
fine if the command was 'built in' because the run method doesn't
fail in this case.  It did fail on a BlockCommand, though.

This change will first probe if the command contains a block and
evaluate it, if this is the case.  If there is no block, it will run
the command the same way as before.

* Add test open files with BlockCommands

* Update open.rs

* Adjust file type on open with BlockCommand parser
