As mentioned in #10698, we have too many `ShellError` variants, with
some even overlapping in meaning. This PR simplifies and improves I/O
error handling by restructuring `ShellError` related to I/O issues.
Previously, `ShellError::IOError` only contained a message string,
making it convenient but overly generic. It was widely used without
providing spans (#4323).

This PR introduces a new `ShellError::Io` variant that consolidates
multiple I/O-related errors (except for `ShellError::NetworkFailure`,
which remains distinct for now). The new `ShellError::Io` variant
replaces the following:

- `FileNotFound`
- `FileNotFoundCustom`
- `IOInterrupted`
- `IOError`
- `IOErrorSpanned`
- `NotADirectory`
- `DirectoryNotFound`
- `MoveNotPossible`
- `CreateNotPossible`
- `ChangeAccessTimeNotPossible`
- `ChangeModifiedTimeNotPossible`
- `RemoveNotPossible`
- `ReadingFile`

## The `IoError`
`IoError` includes the following fields:

1. **`kind`**: Extends `std::io::ErrorKind` to specify the type of I/O
error without needing new `ShellError` variants. This aligns with the
approach used in `std::io::Error`. This adds a second dimension to error
reporting by combining the `kind` field with `ShellError` variants,
making it easier to describe errors in more detail. As proposed by
@kubouch in [#design-discussion on
Discord](https://discord.com/channels/601130461678272522/615329862395101194/1323699197165178930),
this helps reduce the number of `ShellError` variants. In the error
report, the `kind` field is displayed as the "source" of the error,
e.g., "I/O error," followed by the specific kind of I/O error.
2. **`span`**: A non-optional field to encourage providing spans for
better error reporting (#4323).
3. **`path`**: Optional `PathBuf` to give context about the file or
directory involved in the error (#7695). If provided, it’s shown as a
help entry in error reports.
4. **`additional_context`**: Allows adding custom messages when the
span, kind, and path are insufficient. This is rendered in the error
report at the labeled span.
5. **`location`**: Sometimes, I/O errors occur in the engine itself and
are not caused directly by user input. In such cases, if we don’t have a
span and must set it to `Span::unknown()`, we need another way to
reference the error. For this, the `location` field uses the new
`Location` struct, which records the Rust file and line number where the
error occurred. This ensures that we at least know the Rust code
location that failed, helping with debugging. To make this work, a new
`location!` macro was added, which retrieves `file!`, `line!`, and
`column!` values accurately. If `Location::new` is used directly, it
issues a warning to remind developers to use the macro instead, ensuring
consistent and correct usage.

### Constructor Behavior
`IoError` provides five constructor methods:
- `new` and `new_with_additional_context`: Used for errors caused by
user input and require a valid (non-unknown) span to ensure precise
error reporting.
- `new_internal` and `new_internal_with_path`: Used for internal errors
where a span is not available. These methods require additional context
and the `Location` struct to pinpoint the source of the error in the
engine code.
- `factory`: Returns a closure that maps an `std::io::Error` to an
`IoError`. This is useful for handling multiple I/O errors that share
the same span and path, streamlining error handling in such cases.

## New Report Look
This is simulation how the I/O errors look like (the `open crates` is
simulated to show how internal errors are referenced now):

## `Span::test_data()`
To enable better testing, `Span::test_data()` now returns a value
distinct from `Span::unknown()`. Both `Span::test_data()` and
`Span::unknown()` refer to invalid source code, but having a separate
value for test data helps identify issues during testing while keeping
spans unique.

## Cursed Sneaky Error Transfers
I removed the conversions between `std::io::Error` and `ShellError` as
they often removed important information and were used too broadly to
handle I/O errors. This also removed the problematic implementation
found here:

7ea4895513/crates/nu-protocol/src/errors/shell_error.rs (L1534-L1583)

which hid some downcasting from I/O errors and made it hard to trace
where `ShellError` was converted into `std::io::Error`. To address this,
I introduced a new struct called `ShellErrorBridge`, which explicitly
defines this transfer behavior. With `ShellErrorBridge`, we can now
easily grep the codebase to locate and manage such conversions.

## Miscellaneous
- Removed the OS error added in #14640, as it’s no longer needed.
- Improved error messages in `glob_from` (#14679).
- Trying to open a directory with `open` caused a permissions denied
error (it's just what the OS provides). I added a `is_dir` check to
provide a better error in that case.

# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->

- Error outputs now include more detailed information and are formatted
differently, including updated error codes.
- The structure of `ShellError` has changed, requiring plugin authors
and embedders to update their implementations.

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`

# Tests + Formatting

Migrate to a new PWD API (#12603)
This is the first PR towards migrating to a new `$env.PWD` API that
returns potentially un-canonicalized paths. Refer to PR #12515 for
motivations.

## New API: `EngineState::cwd()`

The goal of the new API is to cover both parse-time and runtime use
case, and avoid unintentional misuse. It takes an `Option<Stack>` as
argument, which if supplied, will search for `$env.PWD` on the stack in
additional to the engine state. I think with this design, there's less
confusion over parse-time and runtime environments. If you have access
to a stack, just supply it; otherwise supply `None`.

## Deprecation of other PWD-related APIs

Other APIs are re-implemented using `EngineState::cwd()` and properly
documented. They're marked deprecated, but their behavior is unchanged.
Unused APIs are deleted, and code that accesses `$env.PWD` directly
without using an API is rewritten.

Deprecated APIs:

* `EngineState::current_work_dir()`
* `StateWorkingSet::get_cwd()`
* `env::current_dir()`
* `env::current_dir_str()`
* `env::current_dir_const()`
* `env::current_dir_str_const()`

Other changes:

* `EngineState::get_cwd()` (deleted)
* `StateWorkingSet::list_env()` (deleted)
* `repl::do_run_cmd()` (rewritten with `env::current_dir_str()`)

## `cd` and `pwd` now use logical paths by default

This pulls the changes from PR #12515. It's currently somewhat broken
because using non-canonicalized paths exposed a bug in our path
normalization logic (Issue #12602). Once that is fixed, this should
work.

## Future plans

This PR needs some tests. Which test helpers should I use, and where
should I put those tests?

I noticed that unquoted paths are expanded within `eval_filepath()` and
`eval_directory()` before they even reach the `cd` command. This means
every paths is expanded twice. Is this intended?

Once this PR lands, the plan is to review all usages of the deprecated
APIs and migrate them to `EngineState::cwd()`. In the meantime, these
usages are annotated with `#[allow(deprecated)]` to avoid breaking CI.

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.

Fix incorrect handling of boolean flags for builtin commands (#11492)
# Description
Possible fix of #11456
This PR fixes a bug where builtin commands did not respect the logic of
dynamically passed boolean flags. The reason is
[has_flag](6f59abaf43/crates/nu-protocol/src/ast/call.rs (L204C5-L212C6))
method did not evaluate and take into consideration expression used with
flag.

To address this issue a solution is proposed:
1. `has_flag` method is moved to `CallExt` and new logic to evaluate
expression and check if it is a boolean value is added
2. `has_flag_const` method is added to `CallExt` which is a constant
version of `has_flag`
3. `has_named` method is added to `Call` which is basically the old
logic of `has_flag`
4. All usages of `has_flag` in code are updated, mostly to pass
`engine_state` and `stack` to new `has_flag`. In `run_const` commands it
is replaced with `has_flag_const`. And in a few select places: parser,
`to nuon` and `into string` old logic via `has_named` is used.

# User-Facing Changes
Explicit values of boolean flags are now respected in builtin commands.

Add mktemp command (#11005)
closes #10845 

I've opened this a little prematurely to get some questions answered
before I cleanup the code.

As I started trying to better understand GNUs `mktemp` I've realized its
kind of peculiar and we might want to change its behavior to introduce
it to nushell.

#### quiet and dry run

Does it make sense to keep the `quiet` and `dry_run` flags? I don't
think so. The GNU documentation says this about the dry run flag "Using
the output of this command to create a new file is inherently unsafe, as
there is a window of time between generating the name and using it where
another process can create an object by the same name." So yeah why keep
it? As far as quiet goes, does it make sense to silence the errors in
nushell?

#### other confusing flags

According to the [gnu
docs](https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/mktemp-invocation.html),
the `-t` flag is deprecated and the `-p`/ `--tempdir` are the same flag
with the only difference being `--tempdir` takes an optional path, Given
that, I've broken the `-p` away from `--tempdir`. Now there is one
switch `--tmpdir`/`-t` and one named param `--tmpdir-path`/`-p`.

GNU mktemp
```
  -p DIR, --tmpdir[=DIR]  interpret TEMPLATE relative to DIR; if DIR is not
                        specified, use $TMPDIR if set, else /tmp.  With
                        this option, TEMPLATE must not be an absolute name;
                        unlike with -t, TEMPLATE may contain slashes, but
                        mktemp creates only the final component
  -t                  interpret TEMPLATE as a single file name component,
                        relative to a directory: $TMPDIR, if set; else the
                        directory specified via -p; else /tmp [deprecated]

```
to
nushell mktemp
```
  -p, --tmpdir-path <Filepath> # named param, must provide a path
  -t, --tmpdir                 # a switch
```

Is this a terrible idea?

What should I do?
