remove let-env, focus on mutating $env (#9574)
# Description

For years, Nushell has used `let-env` to set a single environment
variable. As our work on scoping continued, we refined what it meant for
a variable to be in scope using `let` but never updated how `let-env`
would work. Instead, `let-env` confusingly created mutations to the
command's copy of `$env`.

So, to help fix the mental model and point people to the right way of
thinking about what changing the environment means, this PR removes
`let-env` to encourage people to think of it as updating the command's
environment variable via mutation.

Before:

```
let-env FOO = "BAR"
```

Now:

```
$env.FOO = "BAR"
```

It's also a good reminder that the environment owned by the command is
in the `$env` variable rather than global like it is in other shells.

# User-Facing Changes

BREAKING CHANGE BREAKING CHANGE

This completely removes `let-env FOO = "BAR"` so that we can focus on
`$env.FOO = "BAR"`.

# 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 -A clippy::result_large_err` 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

# Maintain a list of working directories and navigate them
# The directory stack.
#
# Exception: the entry for the current directory contains an
# irrelevant value. Instead, the source of truth for the working
# directory is $env.PWD. It has to be this way because cd doesn't
# know about this module.
#
# Example: the following state represents a user-facing directory
# stack of [/a, /var/tmp, /c], and we are currently in /var/tmp .
#
# PWD = /var/tmp
# DIRS_POSITION = 1
# DIRS_LIST = [/a, /b, /c]

# This situation could arise if we started with [/a, /b, /c], then
# we changed directories from /b to /var/tmp.
