Document and critically review ShellError variants - Ep. 3 (#8340)
Continuation of #8229 and #8326

# 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.

# Call to action

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

# User-Facing Changes

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

# Tests + Formatting

(No additional tests needed so far)

# Commits (so far)

- Remove `ShellError::FeatureNotEnabled`
- Name fields on `SE::ExternalNotSupported`
- Name field on `SE::InvalidProbability`
- Name fields on `SE::NushellFailed` variants
- Remove unused `SE::NushellFailedSpannedHelp`
- Name field on `SE::VariableNotFoundAtRuntime`
- Name fields on `SE::EnvVarNotFoundAtRuntime`
- Name fields on `SE::ModuleNotFoundAtRuntime`
- Remove usused `ModuleOrOverlayNotFoundAtRuntime`
- Name fields on `SE::OverlayNotFoundAtRuntime`
- Name field on `SE::NotFound`

Here are some tips to help you get started.
* help -h or help help - show available `help` subcommands and examples
* help commands - list all available commands
* help <name> - display help about a particular command, alias, or module
* help --find <text to search> - search through all help commands table
Nushell works on the idea of a "pipeline". Pipelines are commands connected with the '|' character.
Each stage in the pipeline works together to load, parse, and display information to you.
[Examples]
List the files in the current directory, sorted by size:
ls | sort-by size
Get information about the current system:
sys | get host
Get the processes on your system actively using CPU:
ps | where cpu > 0
