std run-tests: Rename --command switch to --test; and likewise in --list output (#8895)
# Description
<!--
Thank you for improving Nushell. Please, check our [contributing
guide](../CONTRIBUTING.md) and talk to the core team before making major
changes.

Description of your pull request goes here. **Provide examples and/or
screenshots** if your changes affect the user experience.
-->
As described in #8893, switch `std run-tests --module` is ambiguous, but
`--command` is misleading. Fix that, and rename `--list` output column
to match.

# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
* `std run-tests --command test_foo_1` changes to `std run-tests --test
test_foo_1`, users may have to change existing scripts (or muscle
memory).

# 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 -A
clippy::needless_collect` to check that you're using the standard code
style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass
- `cargo run -- crates/nu-std/tests/run.nu` 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
> ```

# 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.

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.
