Jobs (#14883)
# Description

This is an attempt to improve the nushell situation with regard to issue
#247.

This PR implements:
- [X] spawning jobs: `job spawn { do_background_thing }`
Jobs will be implemented as threads and not forks, to maintain a
consistent behavior between unix and windows.

- [X] listing running jobs: `job list`
This should allow users to list what background tasks they currently
have running.

- [X] killing jobs: `job kill <id>`
- [X] interupting nushell code in the job's background thread
- [X] interrupting the job's currently-running process, if any.

Things that should be taken into consideration for implementation:
- [X] (unix-only) Handling `TSTP` signals while executing code and
turning the current program into a background job, and unfreezing them
in foreground `job unfreeze`.

- [X] Ensuring processes spawned by background jobs get distinct process
groups from the nushell shell itself

This PR originally aimed to implement some of the following, but it is
probably ideal to be left for another PR (scope creep)
- Disowning external process jobs (`job dispatch`)
- Inter job communication (`job send/recv`)

Roadblocks encountered so far:
- Nushell does some weird terminal sequence magics which make so that
when a background process or thread prints something to stderr and the
prompt is idle, the stderr output ends up showing up weirdly

Add top-level crate documentation/READMEs (#12907)
# Description
Add `README.md` files to each crate in our workspace (-plugins) and also
include it in the `lib.rs` documentation for <docs.rs> (if there is no
existing `lib.rs` crate documentation)

In all new README I added the defensive comment that the crates are not
considered stable for public consumption. If necessary we can adjust
this if we deem a crate useful for plugin authors.

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`

Refactor using ClosureEval types (#12541)
# Description
Adds two new types in `nu-engine` for evaluating closures: `ClosureEval`
and `ClosureEvalOnce`. This removed some duplicate code and centralizes
our logic for setting up, running, and cleaning up closures. For
example, in the future if we are able to reduce the cloning necessary to
run a closure, then we only have to change the code related to these
types.

`ClosureEval` and `ClosureEvalOnce` are designed with a builder API.
`ClosureEval` is used to run a closure multiple times whereas
`ClosureEvalOnce` is used for a one-shot closure.

# User-Facing Changes
Should be none, unless I messed up one of the command migrations.
Actually, this will fix any unreported environment bugs for commands
that didn't reset the env after running a closure.

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.

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

LazyRecord (#7619)
This is an attempt to implement a new `Value::LazyRecord` variant for
performance reasons.

`LazyRecord` is like a regular `Record`, but it's possible to access
individual columns without evaluating other columns. I've implemented
`LazyRecord` for the special `$nu` variable; accessing `$nu` is
relatively slow because of all the information in `scope`, and [`$nu`
accounts for about 2/3 of Nu's startup time on
Linux](https://github.com/nushell/nushell/issues/6677#issuecomment-1364618122).

### Benchmarks

I ran some benchmarks on my desktop (Linux, 12900K) and the results are
very pleasing.

Nu's time to start up and run a command (`cargo build --release;
hyperfine 'target/release/nu -c "echo \"Hello, world!\""' --shell=none
--warmup 10`) goes from **8.8ms to 3.2ms, about 2.8x faster**.

Tests are also much faster! Running `cargo nextest` (with our very slow
`proptest` tests disabled) goes from **7.2s to 4.4s (1.6x faster)**,
because most tests involve launching a new instance of Nu.

### Design (updated)

I've added a new `LazyRecord` trait and added a `Value` variant wrapping
those trait objects, much like `CustomValue`. `LazyRecord`
implementations must implement these 2 functions:

```rust
// All column names
fn column_names(&self) -> Vec<&'static str>;

// Get 1 specific column value
fn get_column_value(&self, column: &str) -> Result<Value, ShellError>;
 ```

### Serializability

`Value` variants must implement `Serializable` and `Deserializable`, which poses some problems because I want to use unserializable things like `EngineState` in `LazyRecord`s. To work around this, I basically lie to the type system:

1. Add `#[typetag::serde(tag = "type")]` to `LazyRecord` to make it serializable
2. Any unserializable fields in `LazyRecord` implementations get marked with `#[serde(skip)]`
3. At the point where a `LazyRecord` normally would get serialized and sent to a plugin, I instead collect it into a regular `Value::Record` (which can be serialized)

New commands: break, continue, return, and loop (#7230)
# 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
}
```

Use only $nu.env.PWD for getting the current directory (#587)
* 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

* (WIP) Move env vars to engine state (ugly)

Quick and dirty code.

* (WIP) Remove unused mut and args; Fmt

* (WIP) Fix dataframe tests

* (WIP) Fix missing args after rebase

* (WIP) Clone only env vars, not the whole stack

* (WIP) Add env var clone to `for` loop as well

* Minor edits

* Refactor merge_delta() to include stack merging.

Less error-prone than doing it manually.

* Clone env for each `update` command iteration

* Mark env var hidden only when found in eng. state

* Fix clippt warnings

* Add TODO about env var reading

* Do not clone empty environment in loops

* Remove extra cwd collection

* Split current_dir() into str and path; Fix autocd

Allow environment variables to be hidden (#3950)
* Allow environment variables to be hidden

This change allows environment variables in Nushell to have a value of
`Nothing`, which can be set by the user by passing `$nothing` to
`let-env` and friends.

Environment variables with a value of Nothing behave as if they are not
set at all. This allows a user to shadow the value of an environment
variable in a parent scope, effectively removing it from their current
scope. This was not possible before, because a scope can not affect its
parent scopes.

This is a workaround for issues like #3920.

Additionally, this allows a user to simultaneously set, change and
remove multiple environment variables via `load-env`. Any environment
variables set to $nothing will be hidden and thus act as if they are
removed. This simplifies working with virtual environments, which rely
on setting multiple environment variables, including PATH, to specific
values, and remove/change them on deactivation.

One surprising behavior is that an environment variable set to $nothing
will act as if it is not set when querying it (via $nu.env.X), but it is
still possible to remove it entirely via `unlet-env`. If the same
environment variable is present in the parent scope, the value in the
parent scope will be visible to the user. This might be surprising
behavior to users who are not familiar with the implementation details.

An additional corner case is the the shorthand form of `with-env` does
not work with this feature. Using `X=$nothing` will set $nu.env.X to the
string "$nothing". The long-form works as expected: `with-env [X
$nothing] {...}`.

* Remove unused import

* Allow all primitives to be convert to strings

Variable completions. (#3666)
In Nu we have variables (E.g. $var-name) and these contain `Value` types.
This means we can bind to variables any structured data and column path syntax
(E.g. `$variable.path.to`) allows flexibility for "querying" said structures.

Here we offer completions for these. For example, in a Nushell session the
variable `$nu` contains environment values among other things. If we wanted to
see in the screen some environment variable (say the var `SHELL`) we do:

```
> echo $nu.env.SHELL
```

with completions we can now do: `echo $nu.env.S[\TAB]` and we get suggestions
that start at the column path `$nu.env` with vars starting with the letter `S`
in this case `SHELL` appears in the suggestions.

History, more test coverage improvements, and refactorings. (#3217)
Improvements overall to Nu. Also among the changes here, we can also be more confident towards incorporating `3041`. End to end tests for checking envs properly exported to externals is not added here (since it's in the other PR)

A few things added in this PR (probably forgetting some too)

* no writes happen to history during test runs.
* environment syncing end to end coverage added.
* clean up / refactorings few areas.
* testing API for finer control (can write tests passing more than one pipeline)
* can pass environment variables in tests that nu will inherit when running.

* No longer needed.

* no longer under a module. No need to use super.
