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)

nu-protocol

The nu-protocol crate holds the definitions of structs/traits that are used throughout Nushell. This gives us one way to expose them to many other crates, as well as make these definitions available to each other, without causing mutually recursive dependencies.
