Allow plugins to receive configuration from the nushell configuration (#10955)
# Description

When nushell calls a plugin it now sends a configuration `Value` from
the nushell config under `$env.config.plugins.PLUGIN_SHORT_NAME`. This
allows plugin authors to read configuration provided by plugin users.

The `PLUGIN_SHORT_NAME` must match the registered filename after
`nu_plugin_`. If you register `target/debug/nu_plugin_config` the
`PLUGIN_NAME` will be `config` and the nushell config will loook like:

        $env.config = {
          # ...
          plugins: {
            config: [
              some
              values
            ]
          }
        }

Configuration may also use a closure which allows passing values from
`$env` to a plugin:

        $env.config = {
          # ...
          plugins: {
            config: {||
              $env.some_value
            }
          }
        }

This is a breaking change for the plugin API as the `Plugin::run()`
function now accepts a new configuration argument which is an
`&Option<Value>`. If no configuration was supplied the value is `None`.

Plugins compiled after this change should work with older nushell, and
will behave as if the configuration was not set.

Initially discussed in #10867

# User-Facing Changes

* Plugins can read configuration data stored in `$env.config.plugins`
* The plugin `CallInfo` now includes a `config` entry, existing plugins
will require updates
