Update config directly at assignment (#13332)
# Description

Allows `Stack` to have a modified local `Config`, which is updated
immediately when `$env.config` is assigned to. This means that even
within a script, commands that come after `$env.config` changes will
always see those changes in `Stack::get_config()`.

Also fixed a lot of cases where `engine_state.get_config()` was used
even when `Stack` was available.

Closes #13324.

# User-Facing Changes
- Config changes apply immediately after the assignment is executed,
rather than whenever config is read by a command that needs it.
- Potentially slower performance when executing a lot of lines that
change `$env.config` one after another. Recommended to get `$env.config`
into a `mut` variable first and do modifications, then assign it back.
- Much faster performance when executing a script that made
modifications to `$env.config`, as the changes are only parsed once.

# Tests + Formatting
All passing.

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`

Table help rendering (#13182)
# Description

Mostly fixes #13149 with much of the credit to @fdncred.

This PR runs `table --expand` against `help` example results. This is
essentially the same fix that #13146 was for `std help`.

It also changes the shape of the result for the `table --expand`
example, as it was hardcoded wrong.

~Still needed is a fix for the `table --collapse` example.~ Note that
this is also still a bug in `std help` that I didn't noticed before.

# User-Facing Changes

Certain tables are now rendered correctly in the help examples for:

* `table`
* `zip`
* `flatten`
* And almost certainly others

# Tests + Formatting

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

Span ID Refactor - Step 1 (#12960)
# Description
First part of SpanID refactoring series. This PR adds a `SpanId` type
and a corresponding `span_id` field to `Expression`. Parser creating
expressions will now add them to an array in `StateWorkingSet`,
generates a corresponding ID and saves the ID to the Expression. The IDs
are not used anywhere yet.

For the rough overall plan, see
https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/12963.

# User-Facing Changes
Hopefully none. This is only a refactor of Nushell's internals that
shouldn't have visible side effects.

Make get_full_help take &dyn Command (#12903)
# Description
Changes `get_full_help` to take a `&dyn Command` instead of multiple
arguments (`&Signature`, `&Examples` `is_parser_keyword`). All of these
arguments can be gathered from a `Command`, so there is no need to pass
the pieces to `get_full_help`.

This PR also fixes an issue where the search terms are not shown if
`--help` is used on a command.

Replace ExternalStream with new ByteStream type (#12774)
# Description
This PR introduces a `ByteStream` type which is a `Read`-able stream of
bytes. Internally, it has an enum over three different byte stream
sources:
```rust
pub enum ByteStreamSource {
    Read(Box<dyn Read + Send + 'static>),
    File(File),
    Child(ChildProcess),
}
```

This is in comparison to the current `RawStream` type, which is an
`Iterator<Item = Vec<u8>>` and has to allocate for each read chunk.

Currently, `PipelineData::ExternalStream` serves a weird dual role where
it is either external command output or a wrapper around `RawStream`.
`ByteStream` makes this distinction more clear (via `ByteStreamSource`)
and replaces `PipelineData::ExternalStream` in this PR:
```rust
pub enum PipelineData {
    Empty,
    Value(Value, Option<PipelineMetadata>),
    ListStream(ListStream, Option<PipelineMetadata>),
    ByteStream(ByteStream, Option<PipelineMetadata>),
}
```

The PR is relatively large, but a decent amount of it is just repetitive
changes.

This PR fixes #7017, fixes #10763, and fixes #12369.

This PR also improves performance when piping external commands. Nushell
should, in most cases, have competitive pipeline throughput compared to,
e.g., bash.
| Command | Before (MB/s) | After (MB/s) | Bash (MB/s) |
| -------------------------------------------------- | -------------:|
------------:| -----------:|
| `throughput \| rg 'x'` | 3059 | 3744 | 3739 |
| `throughput \| nu --testbin relay o> /dev/null` | 3508 | 8087 | 8136 |

# User-Facing Changes
- This is a breaking change for the plugin communication protocol,
because the `ExternalStreamInfo` was replaced with `ByteStreamInfo`.
Plugins now only have to deal with a single input stream, as opposed to
the previous three streams: stdout, stderr, and exit code.
- The output of `describe` has been changed for external/byte streams.
- Temporary breaking change: `bytes starts-with` no longer works with
byte streams. This is to keep the PR smaller, and `bytes ends-with`
already does not work on byte streams.
- If a process core dumped, then instead of having a `Value::Error` in
the `exit_code` column of the output returned from `complete`, it now is
a `Value::Int` with the negation of the signal number.

# After Submitting
- Update docs and book as necessary
- Release notes (e.g., plugin protocol changes)
- Adapt/convert commands to work with byte streams (high priority is
`str length`, `bytes starts-with`, and maybe `bytes ends-with`).
- Refactor the `tee` code, Devyn has already done some work on this.

Shrink the size of Expr (#12610)
# Description
Continuing from #12568, this PR further reduces the size of `Expr` from
64 to 40 bytes. It also reduces `Expression` from 128 to 96 bytes and
`Type` from 32 to 24 bytes.

This was accomplished by:
- for `Expr` with multiple fields (e.g., `Expr::Thing(A, B, C)`),
merging the fields into new AST struct types and then boxing this struct
(e.g. `Expr::Thing(Box<ABC>)`).
- replacing `Vec<T>` with `Box<[T]>` in multiple places. `Expr`s and
`Expression`s should rarely be mutated, if at all, so this optimization
makes sense.

By reducing the size of these types, I didn't notice a large performance
improvement (at least compared to #12568). But this PR does reduce the
memory usage of nushell. My config is somewhat light so I only noticed a
difference of 1.4MiB (38.9MiB vs 37.5MiB).

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.

IO and redirection overhaul (#11934)
# Description
The PR overhauls how IO redirection is handled, allowing more explicit
and fine-grain control over `stdout` and `stderr` output as well as more
efficient IO and piping.

To summarize the changes in this PR:
- Added a new `IoStream` type to indicate the intended destination for a
pipeline element's `stdout` and `stderr`.
- The `stdout` and `stderr` `IoStream`s are stored in the `Stack` and to
avoid adding 6 additional arguments to every eval function and
`Command::run`. The `stdout` and `stderr` streams can be temporarily
overwritten through functions on `Stack` and these functions will return
a guard that restores the original `stdout` and `stderr` when dropped.
- In the AST, redirections are now directly part of a `PipelineElement`
as a `Option<Redirection>` field instead of having multiple different
`PipelineElement` enum variants for each kind of redirection. This
required changes to the parser, mainly in `lite_parser.rs`.
- `Command`s can also set a `IoStream` override/redirection which will
apply to the previous command in the pipeline. This is used, for
example, in `ignore` to allow the previous external command to have its
stdout redirected to `Stdio::null()` at spawn time. In contrast, the
current implementation has to create an os pipe and manually consume the
output on nushell's side. File and pipe redirections (`o>`, `e>`, `e>|`,
etc.) have precedence over overrides from commands.

This PR improves piping and IO speed, partially addressing #10763. Using
the `throughput` command from that issue, this PR gives the following
speedup on my setup for the commands below:
| Command | Before (MB/s) | After (MB/s) | Bash (MB/s) |
| --------------------------- | -------------:| ------------:|
-----------:|
| `throughput o> /dev/null` | 1169 | 52938 | 54305 |
| `throughput \| ignore` | 840 | 55438 | N/A |
| `throughput \| null` | Error | 53617 | N/A |
| `throughput \| rg 'x'` | 1165 | 3049 | 3736 |
| `(throughput) \| rg 'x'` | 810 | 3085 | 3815 |

(Numbers above are the median samples for throughput)

This PR also paves the way to refactor our `ExternalStream` handling in
the various commands. For example, this PR already fixes the following
code:
```nushell
^sh -c 'echo -n "hello "; sleep 0; echo "world"' | find "hello world"
```
This returns an empty list on 0.90.1 and returns a highlighted "hello
world" on this PR.

Since the `stdout` and `stderr` `IoStream`s are available to commands
when they are run, then this unlocks the potential for more convenient
behavior. E.g., the `find` command can disable its ansi highlighting if
it detects that the output `IoStream` is not the terminal. Knowing the
output streams will also allow background job output to be redirected
more easily and efficiently.

# User-Facing Changes
- External commands returned from closures will be collected (in most
cases):
  ```nushell
  1..2 | each {|_| nu -c "print a" }
  ```
This gives `["a", "a"]` on this PR, whereas this used to print "a\na\n"
and then return an empty list.

  ```nushell
  1..2 | each {|_| nu -c "print -e a" }
  ```
This gives `["", ""]` and prints "a\na\n" to stderr, whereas this used
to return an empty list and print "a\na\n" to stderr.

- Trailing new lines are always trimmed for external commands when
piping into internal commands or collecting it as a value. (Failure to
decode the output as utf-8 will keep the trailing newline for the last
binary value.) In the current nushell version, the following three code
snippets differ only in parenthesis placement, but they all also have
different outputs:

  1. `1..2 | each { ^echo a }`
     ```
     a
     a
     ╭────────────╮
     │ empty list │
     ╰────────────╯
     ```
  2. `1..2 | each { (^echo a) }`
     ```
     ╭───┬───╮
     │ 0 │ a │
     │ 1 │ a │
     ╰───┴───╯
     ```
  3. `1..2 | (each { ^echo a })`
     ```
     ╭───┬───╮
     │ 0 │ a │
     │   │   │
     │ 1 │ a │
     │   │   │
     ╰───┴───╯
     ```

  But in this PR, the above snippets will all have the same output:
  ```
  ╭───┬───╮
  │ 0 │ a │
  │ 1 │ a │
  ╰───┴───╯
  ```

- All existing flags on `run-external` are now deprecated.

- File redirections now apply to all commands inside a code block:
  ```nushell
  (nu -c "print -e a"; nu -c "print -e b") e> test.out
  ```
This gives "a\nb\n" in `test.out` and prints nothing. The same result
would happen when printing to stdout and using a `o>` file redirection.

- External command output will (almost) never be ignored, and ignoring
output must be explicit now:
  ```nushell
  (^echo a; ^echo b)
  ```
This prints "a\nb\n", whereas this used to print only "b\n". This only
applies to external commands; values and internal commands not in return
position will not print anything (e.g., `(echo a; echo b)` still only
prints "b").

- `complete` now always captures stderr (`do` is not necessary).

This PR adds a new evaluator path with callbacks to a mutable trait
object implementing a Debugger trait. The trait object can do anything,
e.g., profiling, code coverage, step debugging. Currently,
entering/leaving a block and a pipeline element is marked with
callbacks, but more callbacks can be added as necessary. Not all
callbacks need to be used by all debuggers; unused ones are simply empty
calls. A simple profiler is implemented as a proof of concept.

The debugging support is implementing by making `eval_xxx()` functions
generic depending on whether we're debugging or not. This has zero
computational overhead, but makes the binary slightly larger (see
benchmarks below). `eval_xxx()` variants called from commands (like
`eval_block_with_early_return()` in `each`) are chosen with a dynamic
dispatch for two reasons: to not grow the binary size due to duplicating
the code of many commands, and for the fact that it isn't possible
because it would make Command trait objects object-unsafe.

In the future, I hope it will be possible to allow plugin callbacks such
that users would be able to implement their profiler plugins instead of
having to recompile Nushell.
[DAP](https://microsoft.github.io/debug-adapter-protocol/) would also be
interesting to explore.

Try `help debug profile`.

## Screenshots

Basic output:

![profiler_new](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/assets/25571562/418b9df0-b659-4dcb-b023-2d5fcef2c865)

To profile with more granularity, increase the profiler depth (you'll
see that repeated `is-windows` calls take a large chunk of total time,
making it a good candidate for optimizing):

![profiler_new_m3](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/assets/25571562/636d756d-5d56-460c-a372-14716f65f37f)

## Benchmarks

### Binary size

Binary size increase vs. main: **+40360 bytes**. _(Both built with
`--release --features=extra,dataframe`.)_

### Time

```nushell
# bench_debug.nu
use std bench

let test = {
    1..100
    | each {
        ls | each {|row| $row.name | str length }
    }
    | flatten
    | math avg
}

print 'debug:'
let res2 = bench { debug profile $test } --pretty
print $res2
```

```nushell
# bench_nodebug.nu
use std bench

let test = {
    1..100
    | each {
        ls | each {|row| $row.name | str length }
    }
    | flatten
    | math avg
}

print 'no debug:'
let res1 = bench { do $test } --pretty
print $res1
```

`cargo run --release -- bench_debug.nu` is consistently 1--2 ms slower
than `cargo run --release -- bench_nodebug.nu` due to the collection
overhead + gathering the report. This is expected. When gathering more
stuff, the overhead is obviously higher.

`cargo run --release -- bench_nodebug.nu` vs. `nu bench_nodebug.nu` I
didn't measure any difference. Both benchmarks report times between 97
and 103 ms randomly, without one being consistently higher than the
other. This suggests that at least in this particular case, when not
running any debugger, there is no runtime overhead.

## API changes

This PR adds a generic parameter to all `eval_xxx` functions that forces
you to specify whether you use the debugger. You can resolve it in two
ways:
* Use a provided helper that will figure it out for you. If you wanted
to use `eval_block(&engine_state, ...)`, call `let eval_block =
get_eval_block(&engine_state); eval_block(&engine_state, ...)`
* If you know you're in an evaluation path that doesn't need debugger
support, call `eval_block::<WithoutDebug>(&engine_state, ...)` (this is
the case of hooks, for example).

I tried to add more explanation in the docstring of `debugger_trait.rs`.

## TODO

- [x] Better profiler output to reduce spam of iterative commands like
`each`
- [x] Resolve `TODO: DEBUG` comments
- [x] Resolve unwraps
- [x] Add doc comments
- [x] Add usage and extra usage for `debug profile`, explaining all
columns

Name the Value conversion functions more clearly (#11851)
# Description
This PR renames the conversion functions on `Value` to be more consistent.
It follows the Rust [API guidelines](https://rust-lang.github.io/api-guidelines/naming.html#ad-hoc-conversions-follow-as_-to_-into_-conventions-c-conv) for ad-hoc conversions.
The conversion functions on `Value` now come in a few forms:
- `coerce_{type}` takes a `&Value` and attempts to convert the value to
`type` (e.g., `i64` are converted to `f64`). This is the old behavior of
some of the `as_{type}` functions -- these functions have simply been
renamed to better reflect what they do.
- The new `as_{type}` functions take a `&Value` and returns an `Ok`
result only if the value is of `type` (no conversion is attempted). The
returned value will be borrowed if `type` is non-`Copy`, otherwise an
owned value is returned.
- `into_{type}` exists for non-`Copy` types, but otherwise does not
attempt conversion just like `as_type`. It takes an owned `Value` and
always returns an owned result.
- `coerce_into_{type}` has the same relationship with `coerce_{type}` as
`into_{type}` does with `as_{type}`.
- `to_{kind}_string`: conversion to different string formats (debug,
abbreviated, etc.). Only two of the old string conversion functions were
removed, the rest have been renamed only.
- `to_{type}`: other conversion functions. Currently, only `to_path`
exists. (And `to_string` through `Display`.)

This table summaries the above:
| Form | Cost | Input Ownership | Output Ownership | Converts `Value`
case/`type` |
| ---------------------------- | ----- | --------------- |
---------------- | -------- |
| `as_{type}` | Cheap | Borrowed | Borrowed/Owned | No |
| `into_{type}` | Cheap | Owned | Owned | No |
| `coerce_{type}` | Cheap | Borrowed | Borrowed/Owned | Yes |
| `coerce_into_{type}` | Cheap | Owned | Owned | Yes |
| `to_{kind}_string` | Expensive | Borrowed | Owned | Yes |
| `to_{type}` | Expensive | Borrowed | Owned | Yes |

Spread operator in record literals (#11144)
Goes towards implementing #10598, which asks for a spread operator in
lists, in records, and when calling commands (continuation of #11006,
which only implements it in lists)

# Description
This PR is for adding a spread operator that can be used when building
records. Additional functionality can be added later.

Changes:

- Previously, the `Expr::Record` variant held `(Expression, Expression)`
pairs. It now holds instances of an enum `RecordItem` (the name isn't
amazing) that allows either a key-value mapping or a spread operator.
- `...` will be treated as the spread operator when it appears before
`$`, `{`, or `(` inside records (no whitespace allowed in between) (not
implemented yet)
- The error message for duplicate columns now includes the column name
itself, because if two spread records are involved in such an error, you
can't tell which field was duplicated from the spans alone

`...` will still be treated as a normal string outside records, and even
in records, it is not treated as a spread operator when not followed
immediately by a `$`, `{`, or `(`.

# User-Facing Changes
Users will be able to use `...` when building records.

```
> let rec = { x: 1, ...{ a: 2 } }
> $rec
╭───┬───╮
│ x │ 1 │
│ a │ 2 │
╰───┴───╯
> { foo: bar, ...$rec, baz: blah }
╭─────┬──────╮
│ foo │ bar  │
│ x   │ 1    │
│ a   │ 2    │
│ baz │ blah │
╰─────┴──────╯
```
If you want to update a field of a record, you'll have to use `merge`
instead:
```
> { ...$rec, x: 5 }
Error: nu:🐚:column_defined_twice

  × Record field or table column used twice: x
   ╭─[entry #2:1:1]
 1 │  { ...$rec, x: 5 }
   ·       ──┬─  ┬
   ·         │   ╰── field redefined here
   ·         ╰── field first defined here
   ╰────
> $rec | merge { x: 5 }
╭───┬───╮
│ x │ 5 │
│ a │ 2 │
╰───┴───╯

Add themes to help command when available #10318 (#10623)
# Description
The issue #10318 is resolved by introducing helper methods within the
existing `get_documentation` function in the nu-engine crate. Initially,
I considered using nu-color-config crate to convert HEX config color to
ANSI color and employing the following method
[https://github.com/nushell/nushell/blob/main/crates/nu-color-config/src/color_config.rs#L9C1-L20C2](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/blob/main/crates/nu-color-config/src/color_config.rs#L9C1-L20C2).
However, this approach was deemed impractical due to circular
dependencies. Consequently, in a manner akin to how we invoke the
`table` command from the nu-command crate in `get_documentation`
function to create a themed-colored table, we invoke the `ansi` command
from nu-command to obtain the ANSI theme color code.

# User-Facing Changes
Visual Changes Only: the help command now uses configured theme, else it
falls back on default hard coded values.

Move Value to helpers, separate span call (#10121)
# Description

As part of the refactor to split spans off of Value, this moves to using
helper functions to create values, and using `.span()` instead of
matching span out of Value directly.

Hoping to get a few more helping hands to finish this, as there are a
lot of commands to update :)

Create Record type (#10103)
# Description
This PR creates a new `Record` type to reduce duplicate code and
possibly bugs as well. (This is an edited version of #9648.)
- `Record` implements `FromIterator` and `IntoIterator` and so can be
iterated over or collected into. For example, this helps with
conversions to and from (hash)maps. (Also, no more
`cols.iter().zip(vals)`!)
- `Record` has a `push(col, val)` function to help insure that the
number of columns is equal to the number of values. I caught a few
potential bugs thanks to this (e.g. in the `ls` command).
- Finally, this PR also adds a `record!` macro that helps simplify
record creation. It is used like so:
   ```rust
   record! {
       "key1" => some_value,
       "key2" => Value::string("text", span),
       "key3" => Value::int(optional_int.unwrap_or(0), span),
       "key4" => Value::bool(config.setting, span),
   }
   ```
Since macros hinder formatting, etc., the right hand side values should
be relatively short and sweet like the examples above.

Where possible, prefer `record!` or `.collect()` on an iterator instead
of multiple `Record::push`s, since the first two automatically set the
record capacity and do less work overall.

# User-Facing Changes
Besides the changes in `nu-protocol` the only other breaking changes are
to `nu-table::{ExpandedTable::build_map, JustTable::kv_table}`.

Show parameter defaults in scope command signature, where they're
available for display by help.
per https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/8928.

I found unexpected ramifications in one completer (NuHelpCompleter) and
plugins, which both use the flag-formatting routine from builtin help.
For the moment I made the minimum necessary changes to get the mainline
scenario to pass tests and run. But we should circle back on what to do
with plugins and help completer..

# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
1. New `parameter_default` column to `signatures` table in
`$nu.scope.commands`
It is populated with whatever parameters can be defaulted: currently
positional args and named flags.
2. Built in help (both `help <command>` and `<command> --help` will
display the defaults
3. Help completer will display defaults for flags, but not for
positionals.

Example:
A custom command with some default parameters:
```
〉cat ~/work/dflts.nu 
# sample function to show defaults in help
export def main [
    arg1: string        # mandatory positional
    arg2:string=abc     # optional positional
    --switch            # no default here
    --named:int         # named flag, no default
    --other:string=def  # flag 
    --hard:record<foo:int bar:string, bas:bool> # default can be compound type
            = {foo:22, bar:"other worlds", bas:false}
] { {arg1: $arg1,
    arg2: $arg2,
    switch: $switch,
    named: $named,
    other: $other,
    hard: $hard, }
}

〉use ~/work/dflts.nu

〉help dflts
sample function to show defaults in help

Usage:
  > dflts {flags} <arg1> (arg2) 

Flags:
  --switch - switch -- no default here
  --named <Int> - named flag, typed, but no default
  --other <String> - flag with default (default: 'def')
  --hard <Record([("foo", Int), ("bar", String), ("bas", Boolean)])> - default can be compound type (default: {foo: 22, bar: 'other worlds', bas: false})
  -h, --help - Display the help message for this command

Parameters:
  arg1 <string>: mandatory positional
  arg2 <string>: optional positional (optional, default: 'abc')
```

Compared to (relevant bits of) help output previously:
```
Flags:
  -h, --help - Display the help message for this command
  -, --switch - no default here
  -, --named <int> - named flag, no default
  -, --other <string> - flag
  -, --hard <record<foo: int, bar: string, bas: bool>> - default can be compound type

Signatures:
  <any> | dflts <string> <string> -> <any>

Parameters:
  arg1 <string>: mandatory positional

FEATURE: print example command results in the help (#8189)
Should close #8035.

> **Note**
> this is my first technical PR for `nushell`
> - i might very well miss things
> - i tried to be as complete as possible about the changes
> - please require further changes if i did something wrong, i'm open to
any remark 😌

# Description
this PR adds, when it is defined in the `examples` method of the
`Command` implementations, the output of the examples to the output of
the `help` command.

this PR
- only modifies `crates/nu-engine/src/documentation.rs` and the
`get_documentation` function
- defines a new `WD` constant to print a **W**hite **D**immed `...`
- a `match` statement at the end of the example loop to
- print a white dimmed `...` when the example is not set, i.e. set to
`None` in the `examples` method of the `Command` implementation of a
command
- pretty print the output of the associated example `Value` when it has
been defined

> **Warning**
> LIMITATIONS:
> - i use snippets from `crates/nu-protocol/src/pipeline_data.rs`
> - the table creation from `pub PipelineData::print`, i.e. the `let
decl_id = ...;` and `let table = ...;` in the change
> - the table item printing from `PipelineData::write_all_and_flush`,
i.e. the `for item in table { ... }`
>
> ADDRESSED:
> - ~~the formatting of the output is not perfect and has to be fully
left aligned with the first column for now~~ (fixed with
[`5abeefd558c34ba9bae15e2f183ff4625442921e`..`a62be1b5a2c730959da5dbc028bb91ffe5093f63`](5abeefd558c34ba9bae15e2f183ff4625442921e..a62be1b5a2c730959da5dbc028bb91ffe5093f63))
> - ~~i'm using `.unwrap()` on both the changes above, not sure how to
handle this for now~~ (fixed for now thanks to 49f1dc080)
> - ~~the tests and `clippy` checks do not pass for now, see below~~
(`clippy` now is happy with 49f1dc080 and the tests pass with
11666bc715)

# User-Facing Changes
the output of the `help <command>` command is now augmented with the
outputs of the examples, when they are defined.
- `with-env`
```bash
> help with-env
...
Examples:
  Set the MYENV environment variable
  > with-env [MYENV "my env value"] { $env.MYENV }
  my env value

  Set by primitive value list
  > with-env [X Y W Z] { $env.X }
  Y

  Set by single row table
  > with-env [[X W]; [Y Z]] { $env.W }
  Z

  Set by key-value record
  > with-env {X: "Y", W: "Z"} { [$env.X $env.W] }
  ╭───┬───╮
  │ 0 │ Y │
  │ 1 │ Z │
  ╰───┴───╯
```
instead of the previous
```bash
> help with-env
...
Examples:
  Set the MYENV environment variable
  > with-env [MYENV "my env value"] { $env.MYENV }

  Set by primitive value list
  > with-env [X Y W Z] { $env.X }

  Set by single row table
  > with-env [[X W]; [Y Z]] { $env.W }

  Set by key-value record
  > with-env {X: "Y", W: "Z"} { [$env.X $env.W] }
```
- `merge`
```bash
> help merge
...
Examples:
  Add an 'index' column to the input table
  > [a b c] | wrap name | merge ( [1 2 3] | wrap index )
  ╭───┬──────╮
  │ # │ name │
  ├───┼──────┤
  │ 1 │ a    │
  │ 2 │ b    │
  │ 3 │ c    │
  ╰───┴──────╯

  Merge two records
  > {a: 1, b: 2} | merge {c: 3}
  ╭───┬───╮
  │ a │ 1 │
  │ b │ 2 │
  │ c │ 3 │
  ╰───┴───╯

  Merge two tables, overwriting overlapping columns
  > [{columnA: A0 columnB: B0}] | merge [{columnA: 'A0*'}]
  ╭───┬─────────┬─────────╮
  │ # │ columnA │ columnB │
  ├───┼─────────┼─────────┤
  │ 0 │ A0*     │ B0      │
  ╰───┴─────────┴─────────╯
```
instead of the previous
```bash
> help merge
...
Examples:
  Add an 'index' column to the input table
  > [a b c] | wrap name | merge ( [1 2 3] | wrap index )

  Merge two records

Use variable names directly in the format strings (#7906)
# Description

Lint: `clippy::uninlined_format_args`

More readable in most situations.
(May be slightly confusing for modifier format strings
https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/fmt/index.html#formatting-parameters)

Alternative to #7865

# User-Facing Changes

None intended

# Tests + Formatting

(Ran `cargo +stable clippy --fix --workspace -- -A clippy::all -D
clippy::uninlined_format_args` to achieve this. Depends on Rust `1.67`)

Reduced LOC by replacing several instances of Value::Int {}, Value::Float{}, Value::Bool {}, and Value::String {} with Value::int(), Value::float(), Value::boolean() and Value::string() (#7412)
# Description

While perusing Value.rs, I noticed the `Value::int()`, `Value::float()`,
`Value::boolean()` and `Value::string()` constructors, which seem
designed to make it easier to construct various Values, but which aren't
used often at all in the codebase. So, using a few find-replaces
regexes, I increased their usage. This reduces overall LOC because
structures like this:
```
Value::Int {
  val: a,
  span: head
}
```
are changed into
```
Value::int(a, head)
```
and are respected as such by the project's formatter.
There are little readability concerns because the second argument to all
of these is `span`, and it's almost always extremely obvious which is
the span at every callsite.

Protocol: debug_assert!() Span to reflect a valid slice (#6806)
Also enforce this by #[non_exhaustive] span such that going forward we
cannot, in debug builds (1), construct invalid spans.

The motivation for this stems from #6431 where I've seen crashes due to
invalid slice indexing.

My hope is this will mitigate such senarios

Clean up keyword lines in help (#7243)
# 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

Address lints from clippy for beta/nightly (#5709)
* Fix clippy lints in tests

* Replace `format!` in `.push_str()` with `write!`

Stylistically that might be a bit rough but elides an allocation.

Fallibility of allocation is more explicit, but ignored with `let _ =`
like in the clippy example:

https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#format_push_string

* Remove unused lifetime

* Fix macro crate relative import

* Derive `Eq` for `PartialEq` with `Eq` members

https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#derive_partial_eq_without_eq

* Remove unnnecessary `.to_string()` for Cow<str>

* Remove `.to_string()` for `tendril::Tendril`

Implements `Deref<Target = str>`

It activated overlay from permanent state prematurely which would
cause `overlay add` to misbehave.

impossible to update the overlay if the module changed.
