* Document the lexer and lightly improve its names
The bulk of this pull request adds a substantial amount of new inline
documentation for the lexer. Along the way, I made a few minor changes
to the names in the lexer, most of which were internal.
The main change that affects other files is renaming `group` to `block`,
since the function is actually parsing a block (a list of groups).
* Further clean up the lexer
- Consolidate the logic of the various token builders into a single type
- Improve and clean up the event-driven BlockParser
- Clean up comment parsing. Comments now contain their original leading
whitespace as well as trailing whitespace, and know how to move some
leading whitespace back into the body based on how the lexer decides
to dedent the comments. This preserves the original whitespace
information while still making it straight-forward to eliminate leading
whitespace in help comments.

* standardize on how to get file size
* forgot to remove comment
* make specified size lowercase
* fix the test due to precision
* added another test
* Update README.md
add contributors graphic
* clippy - test adjustment
* tweaked matching
- Disable shadow-rs (libgit2-sys compilation on WASI fails for various strange reasons, so seems easier to disable altogether for now).
- Disable directories-support (WASI doesn't have concept of user directory and such calls fail at runtime).
* Add possibility to declare optional parameters and switch flags
With this commit applied it is now possible to specify optional parameters and flags
as switches. This PR **only** makes guarantees about **parsing** optional flags and
switches correctly. This PR **does not guarantee flawless functionality** of
optional parameters / switches within scripts.
functionality within scripts. Example:
test.nu
```shell
def my_command [
opt_param?
opt_param2?: int
--switch
] {echo hi nushell}
```
```shell
> source test.nu
> my_command -h
───┬─────────
0 │ hi
1 │ nushell
───┴─────────
Usage:
> my_command <mandatory_param> (opt_param) (opt_param2) {flags}
Parameters:
<mandatory_param>
(opt_param)
(opt_param2)
Flags:
-h, --help: Display this help message
--switch
--opt_flag <any>
```
* Update def docs
* Add rest arg to def
This commit applied adds the ability to define the rest parameter of a def
command. It does not implement the functionality to expand the rest argument in
a user defined def function.
The rest argument has to be exactly worded "...rest".
Example after this PR is applied:
file test.nu
```shell
def my_command [
...rest:int # My rest arg
] {
echo 1 2 3
}
```
```shell
> source test.nu
> my_command -h
Usage:
> my_command ...args {flags}
Parameters:
...args: My rest arg
Flags:
-h, --help: Display this help message
```
* Fix space in help on wrong side
* Remove wrong test case
* Parse long and shortflags without space correctly
* Update param_flag_list.rs
* Update param_flag_list.rs
