Restore tilde expansion on external command names (#13001)
# Description

Fix a regression introduced by #12921, where tilde expansion was no
longer done on the external command name, breaking things like

```nushell
> ~/.cargo/bin/exa
```

This properly handles quoted strings, so they don't expand:

```nushell
> ^"~/.cargo/bin/exa"
Error: nu:🐚:external_command

  × External command failed
   ╭─[entry #1:1:2]
 1 │ ^"~/.cargo/bin/exa"
   ·  ─────────┬────────
   ·           ╰── Command `~/.cargo/bin/exa` not found
   ╰────
  help: `~/.cargo/bin/exa` is neither a Nushell built-in or a known external command

```

This required a change to the parser, so the command name is also parsed
in the same way the arguments are - i.e. the quotes on the outside
remain in the expression. Hopefully that doesn't break anything else. 🤞

Fixes #13000. Should include in patch release 0.94.1

# User-Facing Changes
- Tilde expansion now works again for external commands
- The `command` of `run-external` will now have its quotes removed like
the other arguments if it is a literal string
- The parser is changed to include quotes in the command expression of
`ExternalCall` if they were present

# Tests + Formatting
I would like to add a regression test for this, but it's complicated
because we need a well-known binary within the home directory, which
just isn't a thing. We could drop one there, but that's kind of a bad
behavior for a test to do. I also considered changing the home directory
for the test, but that's so platform-specific - potentially could get it
working on specific platforms though. Changing `HOME` env on Linux
definitely works as far as tilde expansion works.
