feat(polars): loosen constraints on accepted expressions in polars group-by (#15583)
# Description
<!--
Thank you for improving Nushell. Please, check our [contributing
guide](../CONTRIBUTING.md) and talk to the core team before making major
changes.

This PR lifts the constraint that expressions in the `polars group-by`
command must be limited only to the type `Expr::Column` rather than most
`Expr` types, which is what the underlying polars crate allows. This
change enables more complex expressions to group by.

In the example below, we group by even or odd days of column `a`. While
we can reach the same result by creating and grouping by a new column in
two separate steps, integrating these steps in a single group-by allows
for better delegation to the polars optimizer.

```nushell
#  Group by an expression and perform an aggregation
  > [[a b]; [2025-04-01 1] [2025-04-02 2] [2025-04-03 3] [2025-04-04 4]]
    | polars into-lazy
    | polars group-by (polars col a | polars get-day | $in mod 2)
    | polars agg [
        (polars col b | polars min | polars as "b_min")
        (polars col b | polars max | polars as "b_max")
        (polars col b | polars sum | polars as "b_sum")
     ]
    | polars collect
    | polars sort-by a
  ╭───┬───┬───────┬───────┬───────╮
  │ # │ a │ b_min │ b_max │ b_sum │

# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->
No breaking changes. The user is empowered to use more complex
expressions in `polars group-by`

# 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
> ```
-->
An example is added to `polars group-by`.

# 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.
