remove unused dependencies (#9230)
# Description

This is a test PR to see if we can remove dependencies. The crates to
remove was generated from cargo machete. If ci works, I'll update the PR
to remove deps instead of comment them out.

Feature: Userland LazyRecords (#8332)
# Description
Despite the innocent-looking title, this PR involves quite a few backend
changes as the existing LazyRecord trait was not at all friendly towards
the idea of these values being generated on the fly from Nu code.

In particular, here are a few changes involved:
- The LazyRecord trait now involves a lifetime `'a`, and this lifetime
is used in the return value of `get_column_names`. This means it no
longer returns `'static str`s (but implementations still can return
these). This is more stringent on the consumption side.
- The LazyRecord trait now must be able to clone itself via a new
`clone_value` method (as requiring `Clone` is not object safe). This
pattern is borrowed from `Value::CustomValue`.
- LazyRecord no longer requires being serde serializable and
deserializable.

These, in hand, allow for the following:
- LazyRecord can now clone itself, which means that they don't have to
be collected into a Record when being cloned.
- This is especially useful in Stack, which is cloned on each repl line
and in a few other cases. This would mean that _every_ LazyRecord
instance stored in a variable would be collected in its entirety and
cloned, which can be catastrophic for performance. See: `let nulol =
$nu`.
- LazyRecord's columns don't have to be static, they can have the same
lifetime of the struct itself, so different instances of the same
LazyRecord type can have different columns and values (like the new
`NuLazyRecord`)
- Serialization and deserialization are no longer meaningless, they are
simply less.

I would consider this PR very "drafty", but everything works. It
probably requires some cleanup and testing, though, but I'd like some
eyes and pointers first.

# User-Facing Changes
New command. New restrictions are largely internal. Maybe there are some
plugins affected?

Example of new command's usage:
```
lazy make --columns [a b c] --get-value { |name| print $"getting ($name)"; $name | str upcase }
```

You can also trivially implement something like `lazy make record` to
take a record of closures and turn it into a getter-like lazy struct:
```
def "lazy make record" [
    record: record
] {
    let columns = ($record | columns)

    lazy make --columns $columns --get-value { |col| do ($record | get $col) }
}
```

Open to bikeshedding. `lazy make` is similar to `error make` which is
also in the core commands. I didn't like `make lazy` since it sounded
like some transformation was going on.

# Tour for reviewers
Take a look at LazyMake's examples. They have `None` as the results, as
such they aren't _really_ correct and aren't being tested at all. I
didn't do this because creating the Value::LazyRecord is a little tricky
and didn't want to risk messing it up, especially as the necessary
variables aren't available when creating the examples (like stack and
engine state).

Also take a look at NuLazyRecord's get_value implementation, or in
general. It uses an Arc<Mutex<_>> for the stack, which must be accessed
mutably for eval_block but get_value only provides us with a `&self`.
This is a sad state of affairs, but I don't know if there's a better
way.

On the same code path, we also have pipeline handling, and any pipeline
that isn't a Pipeline::Value will return Value::nothing. I believe
returning a Value::Error is probably better, or maybe some other
handling. Couldn't decide on which ShellError to settle with for that
branch.

The "unfortunate casualty" in the columns.rs file. I'm not sure just how
bad that is, though, I simply had to fight a little with the borrow
checker.

A few leftover comments like derives, comments about the now
non-existing serde requirements, and impls. I'll definitely get around
to those eventually but they're in atm

Should NuLazyRecord implement caching? I'm leaning heavily towards
**yes**, this was one of the main reasons not to use a record of
closures (besides convenience), but maybe it could be opt-out. I'd
wonder about its implementation too, but a simple way would be to move a
HashMap into the mutex state and keep cached values there.

Add extern def which allows raw arguments (#8956)
# Description

Extends the `extern` syntax to allow commands that accept raw arguments.
This is mainly added to allow wrapper type scripts for external
commands.

This is an example on how this can be used:

```nushell
extern foo [...rest] { 
  print ($rest | str join ',' ) 
}
foo --bar baz -- -q -u -x
# => --bar,baz,--,-q,-u,-x
```

(It's only possible to accept a single ...varargs argument in the
signature)

# User-Facing Changes

No breaking changes, just extra possibilities.

# Tests + Formatting

Added a test for this new behaviour and ran the toolkit pr checker

# After Submitting

This is advanced functionality but it should be documented, I will open
a new PR on the book for that

Add more examples to help use (#9024)
# Description
The `members` parameter of `use` is specified as type `any`, but it's
really a string or list of strings or `*`. So add some examples that
mention what you can specify for `members`.

Also mention `help modules` and `help std`, since you probably want to
use the standard library or another defined modules.

Sidenote: I tried to run the examples for `use` as tests like is done
for the other commands. That panics with `missing module command`. I
assume this is known.

# User-Facing Changes
`help use` now looks like this:
```nushell
Use definitions from a module, making them available in your shell.

See `help std` for the standard library module.
See `help modules` to list all available modules.

This command is a parser keyword. For details, check:
  https://www.nushell.sh/book/thinking_in_nu.html

Usage:
  > use <module> (members)

Flags:
  -h, --help - Display the help message for this command

Parameters:
  module <string>: Module or module file
  (optional) members <any>: Which members of the module to import

Examples:
  Define a custom command in a module and call it
  > module spam { export def foo [] { "foo" } }; use spam foo; foo
  foo

  Define a custom command that participates in the environment in a module and call it
  > module foo { export def-env bar [] { let-env FOO_BAR = "BAZ" } }; use foo bar; bar; $env.FOO_BAR
  BAZ

  Use a plain module name to import its definitions qualified by the module name
  > module spam { export def foo [] { "foo" }; export def bar [] { "bar" } }; use spam; (spam foo) + (spam bar)
  foobar

  Specify * to use all definitions in a module
  > module spam { export def foo [] { "foo" }; export def bar [] { "bar" } }; use spam *; (foo) + (bar)
  foobar

  To use commands with spaces, like subcommands, surround them with quotes
  > module spam { export def 'foo bar' [] { "baz" } }; use spam 'foo bar'; foo bar
  baz

  To use multiple definitions from a module, wrap them in a list
  > module spam { export def foo [] { "foo" }; export def 'foo bar' [] { "baz" } }; use spam ['foo', 'foo bar']; (foo) + (foo bar)
  foobaz

allow records to have type annotations (#8914)
# Description
follow up to #8529
cleaned up version of #8892 

- the original syntax is okay
```nu
def okay [rec: record] {}
```
- you can now add type annotations for fields if you know
  them before hand
```nu
def okay [rec: record<name: string>] {}
```

- you can specify multiple fields
```nu
def okay [person: record<name: string age: int>] {}

# an optional comma is allowed
def okay [person: record<name: string, age: int>] {}
```

- if annotations are specified, any use of the command will be type
  checked against the specified type
```nu
def unwrap [result: record<ok: bool, value: any>] {}

unwrap {ok: 2, value: "value"}

# errors with

Error: nu::parser::type_mismatch

  × Type mismatch.
   ╭─[entry #4:1:1]
 1 │ unwrap {ok: 2, value: "value"}
   ·         ───────┬─────
   ·                    ╰── expected record<ok: bool, value: any>, found record<ok: int, value: string>
   ╰────
```
> here the error is in the `ok` field, since `any` is coerced into any
type
> as a result `unwrap {ok: true, value: "value"}` is okay

- the key must be a string, either quoted or unquoted
```nu
def err [rec: record<{}: list>] {}

# errors with
Error:
  × `record` type annotations key not string
   ╭─[entry #7:1:1]
 1 │ def unwrap [result: record<{}: bool, value: any>] {}
   ·                            ─┬
   ·                             ╰── must be a string
   ╰────
```

- a key doesn't have to have a type in which case it is assumed to be
`any`
```nu
def okay [person: record<name age>] {}

def okay [person: record<name: string age>] {}
```

- however, if you put a colon, you have to specify a type
```nu
def err [person: record<name: >] {}

# errors with
Error: nu::parser::parse_mismatch

  × Parse mismatch during operation.
   ╭─[entry #12:1:1]
 1 │ def unwrap [res: record<name: >] { $res }
   ·                             ┬
   ·                             ╰── expected type after colon
   ╰────
```

# User-Facing Changes
**[BREAKING CHANGES]**
- this change adds a field to `SyntaxShape::Record` so any plugins that
used it will have to update and include the field. though if you are
unsure of the type the record expects, `SyntaxShape::Record(vec![])`
will suffice

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`

Refactor to support multiple parse errors (#8765)
# Description

This is a pretty heavy refactor of the parser to support multiple parser
errors. It has a few issues we should address before landing:

- [x] In some cases, error quality has gotten worse `1 / "bob"` for
example
- [x] if/else isn't currently parsing correctly
- probably others

This may have error quality degradation as we adjust to the new error
reporting mechanism.

Remove autoprinting of loop block values (#8618)
# Description

This removes autoprinting the final value of a loop, much in the same
spirit as not autoprinting values at the end of statements. As we fix
these corner cases, it becomes more consistent that to print to the
screen in a script, you use the `print` command.

This gives a noticeable performance improvement as a bonus.

Before:
```
C:\Source\nushell〉 for x in 1..10 { $x }
1
2
3
4
5
6
7

Speed up tight loop benchmarks (#8609)
# Description

This does a few speedups for tight loops:
* Caches the DeclId for `table` so we don't look it up. This means users
can't easily replace the default one, we might want to talk about this
tradeoff. The lookup for finding `table` in a tight loop is currently
pretty heavy. Might be another way to speed this up.
* `table` no longer pre-calculates the width. Instead, it only
calculates the width when printing a table or record.
* Use more efficient way of collecting the block of each loop
* When printing output, only get the config when needed

Combined, this drops the runtime from a million loop tight iteration
from 1sec 8ms to 236ms.

Move variables to var stack (#8604)
# Description

This moves the representation of variables on the stack to a Vec, which
more closely resembles a stack. For small numbers of variables live at
any one point, this tends to be more efficient than a HashMap. Having a
stack-like vector also allows us to remember a stack position,
temporarily push variables on, then quickly drop the stack back to the
original size when we're done. We'll need this capability to allow
matching inside of conditions.

On this mac, a simple run of:

`timeit { mut x = 1; while $x < 1000000 { $x += 1 } }`

Went from 1 sec 86 ms, down to 1 sec 2 ms. Clearly, we have a lot more
ground we can make up in looping speed 😅 but it's nice that for fixing
this to make matching easier, we also get a win in terms of lookup speed
for small numbers of variables.

Add pattern matching (#8590)
# Description

This adds `match` and basic pattern matching.

An example:

```
match $x {
  1..10 => { print "Value is between 1 and 10" }
  { foo: $bar } => { print $"Value has a 'foo' field with value ($bar)" }
  [$a, $b] => { print $"Value is a list with two items: ($a) and ($b)" }
  _ => { print "Value is none of the above" }
}
```

Like the recent changes to `if` to allow it to be used as an expression,
`match` can also be used as an expression. This allows you to assign the
result to a variable, eg) `let xyz = match ...`

I've also included a short-hand pattern for matching records, as I think
it might help when doing a lot of record patterns: `{$foo}` which is
equivalent to `{foo: $foo}`.

There are still missing components, so consider this the first step in
full pattern matching support. Currently missing:
* Patterns for strings
* Or-patterns (like the `|` in Rust)
* Patterns for tables (unclear how we want to match a table, so it'll
need some design)
* Patterns for binary values
* And much more

FIX: do not allow *start > end* in error make spans (#8570)
This should close #8567.

# Description
this PR throws an error when `start > end` in the most complete branch
of `ErrorMake::run`, i.e. when `$.msg`, `$.label.text`, `$.label.start`
and `$.label.end` are defined.

i've also added a `error_start_bigger_than_end_should_fail` test to
check that it does indeed return the right error.

# User-Facing Changes
no more crash when manipulating span bounds and a clear error, e.g.
```bash
>_ error make {msg: "msg" label: {text: "text" start: 1010 end: 1000}}

This is an experiment to see what switching the `let/let-env` family to

FEATURE: write better errors for error make and complete the doc (#8511)
# Description
this PR
- refactors `ErrorMake::run` to avoid duplicate branches depending on
the value of `--unspanned`
- completes the examples
1. show a really simple `error make` call, without any command
definition
  2. show a complete error format with all possible fields
3. the command definition but with indentation and slightly better
description
- adds results to the first two examples
- gives meaningful error messages for all known "bad" error formats,
using the span of the error format or the span of `$format.label` to
better explain why the format is bad

# User-Facing Changes
users have now the following help
```bash
Examples:
  Create a simple custom error
  > error make {msg: "my custom error message"}

  Create a more complex custom error
  > error make {
        msg: "my custom error message"
        label: {
            text: "my custom label text"  # not mandatory unless $.label exists
            start: 123  # not mandatory unless $.label.end is set
            end: 456  # not mandatory unless $.label.start is set
        }
    }

  Create a custom error for a custom command that shows the span of the argument
  > def foo [x] {
        let span = (metadata $x).span;
        error make {
            msg: "this is fishy"
            label: {
                text: "fish right here"
                start: $span.start
                end: $span.end
            }
        }

Revert "Allow NU_LIBS_DIR and friends to be const" (#8501)
Reverts nushell/nushell#8310

In anticipation that we may want to revert this PR. I'm starting the
process because of this issue.

This stopped working
```
let-env NU_LIB_DIRS = [
    ($nu.config-path | path dirname | path join 'scripts')
    'C:\Users\username\source\repos\forks\nu_scripts'
    ($nu.config-path | path dirname)
]
```
You have to do this now instead.
```
const NU_LIB_DIRS = [
    'C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\nushell\scripts'
    'C:\Users\username\source\repos\forks\nu_scripts'
    'C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\nushell'
]
```

In talking with @kubouch, he was saying that the `let-env` version
should keep working. Hopefully it's a small change.

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]
 1 │ {major:2, minor:1, patch:4} | values | each { into string }
   ·                                             ───────┬───────

   ╰────
  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...

Allow NU_LIBS_DIR and friends to be const (#8310)
# Description

Allow NU_LIBS_DIR and friends to be const they can be updated within the
same parse pass. This will allow us to remove having multiple config
files eventually.

Small implementation detail: I've changed `call.parser_info` to a
hashmap with string keys, so the information can have names rather than
indices, and we don't have to worry too much about the order in which we
put things into it.

Closes https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8422

# User-Facing Changes

In a single file, users can now do stuff like
```
const NU_LIBS_DIR = ['/some/path/here']
source script.nu
```
and the source statement will use the value of NU_LIBS_DIR declared the
line before.

Currently, if there is no `NU_LIBS_DIR` const, then we fallback to using
the value of the `NU_LIBS_DIR` env-var, so there are no breaking changes
(unless someone named a const NU_LIBS_DIR for some reason).

make better usage of error value in catch block (#8460)
# Description

Fixes: #8402  #8391

The cause of these issue if when we want to evaluate a expression with
`Value::Error`, nushell show error immediately. To fix the issue, we can
wrap the `Value::Error` into a `Value::Record`. So user can see the
message he want.

# User-Facing Changes

Before
```
❯ try { 1 / 0 } catch {|e| echo $"error is ($e)"}
Error: nu:🐚:division_by_zero

  × Division by zero.
   ╭─[entry #2:1:1]
 1 │ try { 1 / 0 } catch {|e| echo $"error is ($e)"}
   ·         ┬
   ·         ╰── division by zero
   ╰────
```

After
```
❯ try { 1 / 0 } catch {|e| echo $"error is ($e)"}
error is {msg: Division by zero., debug: DivisionByZero { span: Span { start: 43104, end: 43105 } }, raw: DivisionByZero { sp
an: Span { start: 43104, end: 43105 } }}
```

As we can see, error becomes a record with `msg`, `debug`, `raw`
columns.
1. msg column is a user friendly message.
2. debug column is more about `Value::Error` information as a string.
3. raw column is a `Value::Error` itself, if user want to re-raise the
error, just use `$e | get raw`

Box ShellError in Value::Error (#8375)
# Description

Our `ShellError` at the moment has a `std::mem::size_of<ShellError>` of
136 bytes (on AMD64). As a result `Value` directly storing the struct
also required 136 bytes (thanks to alignment requirements).

This change stores the `Value::Error` `ShellError` on the heap.

Pro:
- Value now needs just 80 bytes
- Should be 1 cacheline less (still at least 2 cachelines)

Con:
- More small heap allocations when dealing with `Value::Error`
  - More heap fragmentation
  - Potential for additional required memcopies

# Further code changes

Includes a small refactor of `try` due to a type mismatch in its large
match.

# User-Facing Changes

None for regular users.

Plugin authors may have to update their matches on `Value` if they use
`nu-protocol`

Needs benchmarking to see if there is a benefit in real world workloads.
**Update** small improvements in runtime for workloads with high volume
of values. Significant reduction in maximum resident set size, when many
values are held in memory.

Document and critically review ShellError variants - Ep. 3 (#8340)
Continuation of #8229 and #8326

# Description

The `ShellError` enum at the moment is kind of messy. 

Many variants are basic tuple structs where you always have to reference
the implementation with its macro invocation to know which field serves
which purpose.
Furthermore we have both variants that are kind of redundant or either
overly broad to be useful for the user to match on or overly specific
with few uses.

So I set out to start fixing the lacking documentation and naming to
make it feasible to critically review the individual usages and fix
those.
Furthermore we can decide to join or split up variants that don't seem
to be fit for purpose.

# Call to action

**Everyone:** Feel free to add review comments if you spot inconsistent
use of `ShellError` variants.

# User-Facing Changes

(None now, end goal more explicit and consistent error messages)

# Tests + Formatting

(No additional tests needed so far)

# Commits (so far)

- Remove `ShellError::FeatureNotEnabled`
- Name fields on `SE::ExternalNotSupported`

Update the command 'version'. (#8312)
# Description

No real changes, just some cleanup while I was looking at the code of
the command.

# User-Facing Changes

Remove the attribute 'pkg_version', since it's already exposed through
'version'.

cratification: Example support (#8231)
# Description

When the crate nu_cmd_lang crate was created last week example_test.rs
was copied over from nu_command
to nu_cmd_lang. By doing this there was a set of methods in
example_test.rs that existed in both crates...

This PR removes the redundancy by moving all of those duplicated methods
into the crate nu_test_support in a newly created file called
example_support.rs

Re-implement aliases (#8123)
# Description

This PR adds an alternative alias implementation. Old aliases still work
but you need to use `old-alias` instead of `alias`.

Instead of replacing spans in the original code and re-parsing, which
proved to be extremely error-prone and a constant source of panics, the
new implementation creates a new command that references the old
command. Consider the new alias defined as `alias ll = ls -l`. The
parser creates a new command called `ll` and remembers that it is
actually a `ls` command called with the `-l` flag. Then, when the parser
sees the `ll` command, it will translate it to `ls -l` and passes to it
any parameters that were passed to the call to `ll`. It works quite
similar to how known externals defined with `extern` are implemented.

The new alias implementation should work the same way as the old
aliases, including exporting from modules, referencing both known and
unknown externals. It seems to preserve custom completions and pipeline
metadata. It is quite robust in most cases but there are some rough
edges (see later).

Fixes https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/7648,
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8026,
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/7512,
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/5780,
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/7754

No effect: https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8122 (we might
revisit the completions code after this PR)

Should use custom command instead:
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/6048

# User-Facing Changes

Since aliases are now basically commands, it has some new implications:

1. `alias spam = "spam"` (requires command call)
	* **workaround**: use `alias spam = echo "spam"`
2. `def foo [] { 'foo' }; alias foo = ls -l` (foo defined more than
once)
* **workaround**: use different name (commands also have this
limitation)
4. `alias ls = (ls | sort-by type name -i)`
* **workaround**: Use custom command. _The common issue with this is
that it is currently not easy to pass flags through custom commands and
command referencing itself will lead to stack overflow. Both of these
issues are meant to be addressed._
5. TODO: Help messages, `which` command, `$nu.scope.aliases`, etc.
* Should we treat the aliases as commands or should they be separated
from regular commands?
6. Needs better error message and syntax highlight for recursed alias
(`alias f = f`)
7. Can't create alias with the same name as existing command (`alias ls
= ls -a`)
	* Might be possible to add support for it (not 100% sure)
8. Standalone `alias` doesn't list aliases anymore
9. Can't alias parser keywords (e.g., stuff like `alias ou = overlay
use` won't work)
	* TODO: Needs a better error message when attempting to do so
