New commands: break, continue, return, and loop (#7230)
# Description

This adds `break`, `continue`, `return`, and `loop`.

* `break` - breaks out a loop
* `continue` - continues a loop at the next iteration
* `return` - early return from a function call
* `loop` - loop forever (until the loop hits a break)

Examples:
```
for i in 1..10 {
    if $i == 5 {
       continue
    } 
    print $i
}
```

```
for i in 1..10 {
    if $i == 5 {
        break
    } 
    print $i
}
```

```
def foo [x] {
    if true {
        return 2
    }
    $x
}
foo 100
```

```
loop { print "hello, forever" }
```

```
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5] | each {|x| 
    if $x > 3 { break }
    $x
}
```

# User-Facing Changes

Adds the above commands.

# Tests + Formatting

Don't forget to add tests that cover your changes.

Make sure you've run and fixed any issues with these commands:

- `cargo fmt --all -- --check` to check standard code formatting (`cargo
fmt --all` applies these changes)
- `cargo clippy --workspace -- -D warnings -D clippy::unwrap_used -A
clippy::needless_collect` to check that you're using the standard code
style
- `cargo test --workspace` to check that all tests pass

# After Submitting

If your PR had any user-facing changes, update [the
documentation](https://github.com/nushell/nushell.github.io) after the
PR is merged, if necessary. This will help us keep the docs up to date.

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.
