This PR seeks to expand `polars col` functionality to allow selecting
multiple columns and columns by type, which is particularly useful when
piping to subsequent expressions that should be applied to each column
selected (e.g., `polars col int --type | polars sum` as a shorthand for
`[(polars col a | polars sum), (polars col b | polars sum)]`). See
examples below.

```nushell
#  Select multiple columns (cannot be used with asterisk wildcard)
  > [[a b c]; [x 1 1.1] [y 2 2.2] [z 3 3.3]] | polars into-df 
          | polars select (polars col b c | polars sum) | polars collect
  ╭───┬───┬──────╮
  │ # │ b │  c   │
  ├───┼───┼──────┤
  │ 0 │ 6 │ 6.60 │
  ╰───┴───┴──────╯

#  Select multiple columns by types (cannot be used with asterisk wildcard)
  > [[a b c]; [x o 1.1] [y p 2.2] [z q 3.3]] | polars into-df 
           | polars select (polars col str f64 --type | polars max) | polars collect
  ╭───┬───┬───┬──────╮
  │ # │ a │ b │  c   │
  ├───┼───┼───┼──────┤
  │ 0 │ z │ q │ 3.30 │
  ╰───┴───┴───┴──────╯
```

# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
No breaking changes. Users have the additional capability to select
multiple columns in `polars col`.

# Tests + Formatting
<!--
Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.

Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:

- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo
fmt --all` applies these changes)
- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used` to
check that you're using the standard code style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass (on Windows make
sure to [enable developer
mode](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/get-started/developer-mode-features-and-debugging))
- `cargo run -- -c "use toolkit.nu; toolkit test stdlib"` to run the
tests for the standard library

> **Note**
> from `nushell` you can also use the `toolkit` as follows
> ```bash
> use toolkit.nu # or use an `env_change` hook to activate it
automatically
> toolkit check pr
> ```
-->
Examples have been added to `polars col`.

# After Submitting
<!-- If your PR had any user-facing changes, update [the
documentation](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io) after the
PR is merged, if necessary. This will help us keep the docs up to date.

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.
