Nushell panics when the spread operator is used like this (the
`...$rest` shouldn't actually be parsed as a spread operator at all):

```nu
$ def foo [...rest: string] {...$rest}                      
$ foo bar baz                                               
thread 'main' panicked at /root/.cargo/registry/src/index.crates.io-6f17d22bba15001f/nu-protocol-0.89.0/src/signature.rs:650:9:
Internal error: can't run a predeclaration without a body

```

The problem was that whenever the parser saw something like `{...$`,
`{...(`, or `{...[`, it would treat that as a record with a spread
expression, ignoring the syntax shape of the block it was parsing. This
should now be fixed, and the snippet above instead gives the following
error:

```nu
Error: nu:🐚:external_command

```

# User-Facing Changes
<!-- List of all changes that impact the user experience here. This
helps us keep track of breaking changes. -->

Stuff like `do { ...$rest }` will now try to run a command `...$rest`
rather than complaining that variable `$rest` doesn't exist.

# 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 std testing; testing run-tests --path
crates/nu-std"` 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.

Sorry about the issue, I am not touching the parser again for a long
time :)
