Remove pythonic int * list behavior (#10292)
# Description
The pythonism that multiplying a scalar integer with a list results in a
repeated concatenation of the list, is ambiguous with other possible
interpretations and thus actively harmful to clear semantics in nushell.

Another possible reading of this scalar/vector product would be trying
to perform elementwise multiplication with the scalar.

Before we bless this alternative as a more reasonable design the best
course of action is to remove this pythonism.

# User-Facing Changes
Breaking change as this turns `int * list` or `list * int` into hard
errors.

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.
