Update sample and scaffold files (#14568)
# Description

Tidying up some of the wording of the sample and scaffold files to align
with our current recommendations:

* Continue to generate a commented-only `env.nu` and `config.nu` on
first launch.
* The generated `env.nu` mentions that most configuration can be done in
`config.nu`
* The `sample_env.nu` mentions the same. I might try getting rid of
`config env --sample` entirely (it's new since 0.100 anyway).
* All configuration is now documented "in-shell" in `sample_config.nu`,
which can be viewed using `config nu --sample` - This means that
environment variables that used to be in `sample_env.nu` have been moved
to `sample_config.new`.

Nushell core libraries and plugins

These sub-crates form both the foundation for Nu and a set of plugins which extend Nu with additional functionality.

Foundational libraries are split into two kinds of crates:

  • Core crates - those crates that work together to build the Nushell language engine
  • Support crates - a set of crates that support the engine with additional features like JSON support, ANSI support, and more.

Plugins are likewise also split into two types:

  • Core plugins - plugins that provide part of the default experience of Nu, including access to the system properties, processes, and web-connectivity features.
  • Extra plugins - these plugins run a wide range of different capabilities like working with different file types, charting, viewing binary data, and more.
