Improve handling of columns with null values (#14588)
Addresses some null handling issues in #6882

# Description

This changes the implementation of guessing a column type when a schema
is not specified.

New behavior:
1. Use the first non-Value::Nothing value type for the columns data type
2. If the value type changes (ignoring Value::Nothing) in subsequent
values, the datatype will be changed to DataType::Object("Value", None)
3. If a column type does not have a value type,
DataType::Object("Value", None) will be assumed.

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.
