fix(which): remove required positional argument to allow spread input (#15870 )

## Summary

This PR removes the required positional argument from the `which`
command, allowing it to accept input via the spread (`...`) operator.
This enables expressions like:

```nu
[notepad cmd] | which ...$in
```

Previously, this failed due to a missing required positional argument.
The Nushell runtime already handles empty input gracefully, so the
change aligns with existing behavior.

---

## Motivation

Making `which` compatible with splatted input improves composability and
aligns with user expectations in scriptable environments. It supports
patterns where the input may be constructed dynamically or piped in from
earlier commands.

---

## Changes

* Removed the `required` attribute from the positional argument in the
`which` command signature.
* No additional runtime logic required since empty input is handled
gracefully already.

---

## Examples

### Before

```nu
[notepad cmd] | which ...$in
# ❌ Error: Missing required positional argument
```

### After

```nu
[notepad cmd] | which ...$in
# ✅ Executes correctly
```

---

## Testing

* Ran `cargo test --all` and `cargo test -p nu-command`
* Manually tested using spread input with the `which` command
* Confirmed that empty and non-empty inputs behave correctly
