Firegem 574106bc03 allow update cells to work on single records (#16018)
# Description
The `update cells` command used to "work" on records by converting them
into single-row tables in the past, but strengthened input type checking
made it so that no longer worked. This commit introduces correct record
-> record functionality.

# User-Facing Changes
Users can now pipe records into `update cells`. An example inspired by a
conversation in the Discord:
```nushell
> version | update cells { split row ', ' } -c [features, installed_plugins]

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.
