Refactor error make (#10923)
- Replaced `start`/`end` with span.
- Fixed standard library.
- Add `help` option.
- Add a couple more errors for invalid record types.

Resolve #10914


# Description



# User-Facing Changes

- **BREAKING CHANGE:** `error make` now takes in `span` instead of
`start`/`end`:

  ```Nushell
  error make {
      msg: "Message"
      label: {
          text: "Label text"
          span: (metadata $var).span
      }
  }
  ```
- `error make` now has a `help` argument for custom error help.

Welcome to the standard library of `nushell`!

The standard library is a pure-nushell collection of custom commands which provide interactive utilities and building blocks for users writing casual scripts or complex applications.

To see what's here:

> use std
> help commands | select name usage | where name =~ "std "
╭────┬─────────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╮
│  # │            name             │                                usage                           │
├────┼─────────────────────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤

           . . .

╰────┴─────────────────────────────┴────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────╯

🧰 Using the standard library in the REPL or in scripts

All commands in the standard library must be "imported" into the running environment (the interactive read-execute-print-loop (REPL) or a .nu script) using the use command.

You can choose to import the whole module, but then must refer to individual commands with a std prefix, e.g:

use std

std log debug "Running now"
std assert (1 == 2)

Or you can enumerate the specific commands you want to import and invoke them without the std prefix.

use std ["log debug" assert]

log debug "Running again"
assert (2 == 1)

This is probably the form of import you'll want to add to your env.nu for interactive use.
