We already have the binary `bit-xor` and the shortcircuiting logical
`or`(`||`) and `and`(`&&`).
This introduces `xor` as a compact form for both brevity and clarity.
You can express the operation through `not`/`and`/`or` with a slight
risk of introducing bugs through typos.
Operator precedence
`and` > `xor` > `or`
Added logic and precedence tests.
# Description
This makes the help messages cleaner for keyword-style arguments.
Before:
```
(optional) else_expression <Keyword([101, 108, 115, 101], Expression)>: expression or block to run if check fails
```
Now:
```
(optional) "else" + <expression>: expression or block to run if check fails
```

# Description
This adds `break`, `continue`, `return`, and `loop`.
* `break` - breaks out a loop
* `continue` - continues a loop at the next iteration
* `return` - early return from a function call
* `loop` - loop forever (until the loop hits a break)
Examples:
```
for i in 1..10 {
if $i == 5 {
continue
}
print $i
}
```
```
for i in 1..10 {
if $i == 5 {
break
}
print $i
}
```
```
def foo [x] {
if true {
return 2
}
$x
}
foo 100
```
```
loop { print "hello, forever" }
```
```
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5] | each {|x|
if $x > 3 { break }
$x
}
```

I've also revised the tests, which accidentally tested the wrong thing
for redirection, but should be more correct now.

# Description
As title, when execute external sub command, auto-trimming end
new-lines, like how fish shell does.
And if the command is executed directly like: `cat tmp`, the result
won't change.
Fixes: #6816Fixes: #3980
Note that although nushell works correctly by directly replace output of
external command to variable(or other places like string interpolation),
it's not friendly to user, and users almost want to use `str trim` to
trim trailing newline, I think that's why fish shell do this
automatically.
If the pr is ok, as a result, no more `str trim -r` is required when
user is writing scripts which using external commands.

* add signature information when help on one command
* tell user that one command support operated on cell paths
Also, make type output to be more friendly, like `record<>` should just be `record`
And the same to `table<>`, which should be `table`

* don't show signatures for parser keyword
* update comment
* output arg syntax shape as type, so it's the same as describe command

we now have
command.signatures: list<table>
with one signature for every input-output type pair.
* Represent signatures as a map from input_type to signature
* Sort signature entries
* Drop command name from signature tables
* Don't use "rest" as name of rest parameter; use empty string instead
* Bug fix: was creating records with repeated keys
E.g.
$nu.scope.commands | where name == 'hash sha256' | get signatures.0 | table -e
$nu.scope.commands | where name == 'transpose' | get signatures.0 | table -e
* removes unused features.
* Adds back multithreading feature to sysinfo.

This adds support for (limited) mutable variables. Mutable variables are created with mut much the same way immutable variables are made with let.
Mutable variables allow mutation via the assignment operator (=).
❯ mut x = 100
❯ $x = 200
❯ print $x
200
Mutable variables are limited in that they're only tended to be used in the local code block. Trying to capture a local variable will result in an error:
❯ mut x = 123; {|| $x }
Error: nu::parser::expected_keyword (link)
× Capture of mutable variable.
The intent of this limitation is to reduce some of the issues with mutable variables in general: namely they make code that's harder to reason about. By reducing the scope that a mutable variable can be used it, we can help create local reasoning about them.
Mutation can occur with fields as well, as in this case:
❯ mut y = {abc: 123}
❯ $y.abc = 456
❯ $y
On a historical note: mutable variables are something that we resisted for quite a long time, leaning as much as we could on the functional style of pipelines and dataflow. That said, we've watched folks struggle to work with reduce as an approximation for patterns that would be trivial to express with local mutation. With that in mind, we're leaning towards the happy path.
Allows use of slightly optimized variants that check if they have to use
the heavier vte parser. Tries to avoid unnnecessary allocations. Initial
performance characteristics proven out in #4378.
Also reduces boilerplate with right-ward drift.

* Avoid extending the directory without globs in `nu_engine::glob_from`
* avoid joining a `*` to the directory without globs
* remove checks on directory permission and whether it is empty
The previous implemention of `nu_engine::glob_from` will extend the

* Add two more overlay tests
* Add ModuleId to OverlayFrame
* Fix env conversion accidentally activating overlay
It activated overlay from permanent state prematurely which would
cause `overlay add` to misbehave.

* Add overlay commands examples
* Modify TODO
* Fix $nu.scope iteration
* Disallow removing default overlay

Three crates already have license texts, so I'm keeping them, but
symlinking the `LICENSE` from the top level to the rest of the crate
directories. This works as long as `cargo publish` is done on a Unix-y
system and not Windows.
Also bump the copyright year to end in 2022.

* Use only $nu.env.PWD for getting current directory
Because setting and reading to/from std::env changes the global state
shich is problematic if we call `cd` from multiple threads (e.g., in a
`par-each` block).
With this change, when engine-q starts, it will either inherit existing
PWD env var, or create a new one from `std::env::current_dir()`.
Otherwise, everything that needs the current directory will get it from
`$nu.env.PWD`. Each spawned external command will get its current
directory per-process which should be thread-safe.
One thing left to do is to patch nu-path for this as well since it uses
`std::env::current_dir()` in its expansions.
* Rename nu-path functions
*_with is not *_relative which should be more descriptive and frees
"with" for use in a followup commit.
* Clone stack every each iter; Fix some commands
Cloning the stack each iteration of `each` makes sure we're not reusing
PWD between iterations.
Some fixes in commands to make them use the new PWD.
* Post-rebase cleanup, fmt, clippy
* Change back _relative to _with in nu-path funcs
Didn't use the idea I had for the new "_with".
* Remove leftover current_dir from rebase
* Add cwd sync at merge_delta()
This makes sure the parser and completer always have up-to-date cwd.
* Always pass absolute path to glob in ls
* Do not allow PWD a relative path; Allow recovery
Makes it possible to recover PWD by proceeding with the REPL cycle.
* Clone stack in each also for byte/string stream
* (WIP) Start moving env variables to engine state
