Document and critically review ShellError variants - Ep. 1 (#8229)
# Description

The `ShellError` enum at the moment is kind of messy. 

Many variants are basic tuple structs where you always have to reference
the implementation with its macro invocation to know which field serves
which purpose.
Furthermore we have both variants that are kind of redundant or either
overly broad to be useful for the user to match on or overly specific
with few uses.

So I set out to start fixing the lacking documentation and naming to
make it feasible to critically review the individual usages and fix
those.
Furthermore we can decide to join or split up variants that don't seem
to be fit for purpose.

Feel free to add review comments if you spot inconsistent use of
`ShellError` variants.

- Name fields on `ShellError::OperatorOverflow`
- Name fields on `ShellError::PipelineMismatch`
- Add doc to `ShellError::OnlySupportsThisInputType`
- Name `ShellError::OnlySupportsThisInputType`
- Name field on `ShellError::PipelineEmpty`
- Comment about issues with `TypeMismatch*`
- Fix a few `exp_input_type`s
- Name fields on `ShellError::InvalidRange`

# User-Facing Changes

(None now, end goal more explicit and consistent error messages)

# Tests + Formatting

(No additional tests needed so far)

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.
